The RMHC North Central Florida Advisory Council serves as a critical community champion of our organization. Members provide professional expertise, diverse knowledge and perspectives, connections and resources, and philanthropic support.
The Advisory Council meets quarterly for an engaging meeting with guest speakers such as RMHC North Central FLorida staff, families staying at the House, and community members.
For more information or to join the Advisory Council, please contact Sherry Houston at shouston@rmhcncf.org or 352-374-4404 x230.
