Lived and Living Experience Matters Committee

IMI’s National Advisory Board leads a committee with dedicated representation from individuals from the community — community-based organizations and community workers — and those with lived experience. Community and equity has long been a strategic priority for IMI since our founding. The Lived and LIving Experience Matters Committee amplifies our commitment to ensure those most directly affected by the Medicaid program have the greatest voice in shaping our work.
