Power to Decide is a public, nonprofit, nonpartisan organization. This governing body is supported by several advisory panels, including a non-partisan Congressional Advisory Panel and Public Policy Advisory Group, the State and Local Action Advisory Group, the Health Equity Advisory Panel, and the Health Care Advisory Group.
