The Panel is committed to an inclusive engagement process that will ensure the SELA Cultural Center is based on genuine feedback from the entire community. Beginning December 2024, Panel members will meet regularly over the course of two years to advise on the programming, ownership, and operations of the SELA Cultural Center. All Panel meetings and activities will be covered by the Bagley Keene Open Meeting Act to ensure that all members of the public can access, participate, and provide comments during each meeting.
Since Panel meetings will also often include consensus building and decision making, all meeting notices and agendas will be publicly posted at least 10 days ahead of time so that interested community members can participate. Learn more about the Bagley Keene Open Meeting Act.
Additional materials supporting the facilitation of the meeting can be found in the Advisory Panel Binder after the meeting has taken place.
