The Consumer Family Advisory Council (known as CFAC) has been established by RHA to serve as a clearinghouse for all activities related to our service users (consumers) and their families. This committee is made up of parents and service users from across the state and will meet twice a year. Our mission will be to advise and support RHA in its mission by advocating in all areas for service users and their families. As members of this committee, we are in a unique position to offer advice and suggestions to our administrators and Board as well as to advocate to these same entities on behalf of our service users.

In order to be effective, it is important that this committee hears from you regarding your thoughts and opinions about the services your family member receives. We hope you will feel free to communicate all concerns as well as positive comments to this committee. You may e-mail this committee at boogstwo@aol.com or jduncan447@aol.com. You may also contact Debby Huffman, Chairman of CFAC, at 336-768-4331 or Jeanne Duncan, RHA, at 1-800-848-0180.

This committee will be communicating with you through articles in the company newsletters you receive. It is our intent to provide you with information after each of our meetings, May and November. Look for the headline, “Ensuring Your Voice Is Heard”, in the RHA quarterly newsletter.

Through the work of this committee, we hope to keep you informed of the issues directly affecting your service user.

Sincerely,

Debby Huffman, Chairman
Dee Reece, Vice-Chairman
