Partners Advisory Committee

The Partners Advisory Committee was established in 2009 to give health care companies a structured interactive forum for dialogue between the industry and Leapfrog’s Management and Board of Directors.

The Committee meets on a quarterly basis with members coming together twice a year via teleconference and twice a year in‐person in conjunction with the Leapfrog Board of Directors meetings. The Committee makes regular reports to Leapfrog’s Board of Directors on the Committee’s membership, proposals, and progress. It also serves as a platform for the creation, implementation, and evaluation of new partner‐driven initiatives that promote our shared vision and mission.
