The HARC Community Advisory Committee
To ensure that the High Altitude Research Center best-serves the needs of Summit County, a Community Advisory Council was formed. This group consists of influential members of the Summit County community and meet to develop practice strategy, discuss research progress, develop potential fundraising streams, and identify new opportunities for community impact. The High Altitude Research Center will also have a Scientific Advisory Committee. This Committee will be made up of world-renowned high altitude researchers and regularly meet to ensure the scientific rigor of the practice’s work product and to identify new opportunities for research at the practice.
