Member Advisory Group

Our Member Advisory Group (MAG) meetings are a means for customers to provide input and feedback on matters that affect other customers. By having these discussions, we hope to improve services for all through the lens of lived experience. It’s just another way Enhanced Lifestyles remains member-governed.

How is the MAG different to the Board?

It’s a completely separate thing! The MAG involves a smaller time commitment when compared to being a Board member. MAG meetings are held every two months and are scheduled for less than two hours, meaning you can make a big difference for only 12 hours of contact time per year.

Plus, MAG meetings are also held in-person (though customers can join in remotely via webinar) and require no electronic documents.

If you’d like to know more about what to expect from participating in the MAG, you can read our MAG articles below.
