I think it’s more expected nowadays than ever before that your committees and councils would include the rugmakers themselves as well. I work for a large funder and our projects have been funded by large federal funders (such as National Institutes of Health, Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, etc.), all of which require target population represenation on projects, councils, etc.
