WHO initiates CIS in a community?
Communities invite a state CIS representative to present CIS strategies to community leaders. Interested communities then identify a local liaison who continues to introduce CIS concepts while soliciting input and support from community stakeholders. During this process, the local liaison is guided by a steering committee and community leaders. The introductory process adapts the CIS strategy to meet local needs and leads to the formation of a permanent governance structure. The CIS state office trains and works with the local liaison and serves as a continuous resource to the steering committee.
