These partners represent the community at large and can advocate for resources and policies that are essential to the creation of an effective service delivery system. The agency should be sensitive to the interests of these stakeholders and responsive to their requests for information and input to the development of policies and bring them to the table in partnership capacity.

Members of this group provide critical watchdog/oversight functions for the community both in short-term emergency situations and also in long-term evaluation capacities by setting agendas, reviewing outcomes and coordinating additional collaborations. In short, they are critical to ensuring accountability among partners.
