RESPONSIBILITIES

The members of the Project Advisory Committee have been asked to volunteer their expertise as needed, depending on the unique skills, talents, and experience of the individual members.

For some, it is a matter of providing a list of valuable community contacts and / or names of organizations serving the Jamaican and Trinidadian communities of Brooklyn. Some members provide additional titles for our growing lists of academic resources (books, articles, videos, etc.), based on their existing knowledge and research. Still others offer suggestions for refining our survey form or provide entrée into the communities we will survey.
