WHEREAS, ACCION and BACP will jointly establish an unincorporated, unpaid advisory board ("Advisory Board"), whose membership will be subject to BACP approval and on which Advisory Board BACP will hold a permanent position, to set and implement policies regarding selected aspects ofthe Program; and
