Things to Consider
Are you going to use an existing advisory group or
create a new one?
Will the group be formal or informal? What is the location for these meetings? How often will you meet? Will you offer a stipend to members? Will members be able to participate by phone or
internet?
What are the grounds rules?

Addressing Provider Resistance
Important Messages:
Participant direction and the traditional system are
compatible
The aging population is growing and there is a need for
an expanded labor force
There is a role for providers as a support entity in
participant direction
Some self-directing participants will still use their budget
to purchase agency services
