Action Team Recruitment Procedures
A member of HEAL PA can recruit potential new members to join our work. However, all new members should be vetted by the co-chairs of the action team they wish to join, and their membership should be weighed against the needs in expertise, influence, or diversity for that team.

HEAL PA Membership Procedure:

1. The interested party submits their application via the website.
2. The co-chairs review the application and contact the interested party within 7-10 business days.
3. An interview may be held at the discretion of the co-chairs.
4. Once an applicant is approved as a new member, the co-chairs are responsible for having them added to the HEAL PA roster, having them complete the demographic spreadsheet and providing them with the HEAL PA Membership Orientation Packet

HEAL PA requires 75% attendance for all meetings to retain membership. Every member must live up to the mission, vision, values, and core principles for action and planning as laid out in the Trauma-Informed PA Plan.
