They represent large metropolitan areas such as Phoenix, Denver, and Louisville; cities and towns of all sizes including Boise, ID, Burlington, VT, and Carrizozo, NM (population, 973); multiple-county rural areas; one island-nation; and a military base. About one-third are community advocates, another one-third are made up of public health and planning professionals, and the remainder include transportation and health care professionals, students and teachers/professors, and local elected officials.
