Become an NYC HPG Member
The NYC HPG uses a broad, community- based outreach effort to identify potential new members, with an emphasis on engaging people involved in the HIV/AIDS and health care communities.
Potential members are invited to submit an application and complete an interview. New members selected are recommended to the Health Commissioner, who approves all appointments. Initial appointments are for two years and are renewable for up to two additional terms. Many continue their involvement after their terms end by participating as associate members.
