Mi Via Advisory Committee

The Mi Via Advisory Committee supports the Mi Via Waiver program in the following ways:

• To reinforce the Mi Via philosophy of self-direction;
• To engage “on the ground floor” in providing input and recommendations during policy considerations;
• To assist the State Mi Via Waiver Program with the on-going evaluation and improvement of Mi Via; and
• To help identify ways to simplify the Mi Via processes.

Meetings

It is anticipated that the Mi Via Advisory Committee will meet approximately four to eight times per year, with the location to be determined and announced prior to each meeting. Meetings will be at least three hours in length, attended in person or by phone.
