About the Needs Assessment Committee

The Needs Assessment Committee reviews and recommends needs assessments, epidemiological data, research, and other informational activities as assigned by the Planning Council. They help coordinate town halls, focus groups, and surveys along with Office staff.

Last year, the Needs Assessment Committee worked alongside the Finance and Comprehensive Planning Committees to plan service priorities for the Philadelphia EMA. The Ryan White Planning Council approved the currentlist of priorities on June 9, 2011.

This committee usually meets on the second Monday of the month from 2 p.m. - 4 p.m. Please see the calendar for upcoming meeting information.
