Advisory Council  & Community Voice

Forgotten Daughters, Inc. is intentionally building a multi-layered advisory structure to ensure that our work remains grounded in the lived realities of the women and girls we serve.

General Advisory Council

The General Advisory Council is composed of professionals, community leaders, and individuals with relevant lived or field experience. This Council provides non‑binding guidance to support ethical, informed program development, strategic growth, and best practices.

While the Council does not hold voting authority, its insight helps shape the direction and quality of our work.

Community Advisory Committees

To ensure that women and girls at every stage of life have a voice in shaping our programs, Forgotten Daughters has established three Community Advisory Committees: Youth Advisory, Emerging Women, and Women of Wisdom

Why These Committees Matter

Each advisory committee elevates the voices, concerns, and priorities of women and girls within the communities we serve. Their input ensures that our programs remain responsive, culturally grounded, and rooted in real needs.

Together, the General Advisory Council and Community Advisory Committees create a powerful feedback loop between community voice and organizational leadership. This structure strengthens accountability, enhances cultural responsiveness, and ensures mission alignment as Forgotten Daughters continues to grow.
