  28. Expectations of the NC HIE Work Groups • Participants have been nominated and invited to participate by the NC HIE governing board co-chaired by Secretary Lanier Cansler and Mr. Charlie Sanders for your expertise in your field and your commitment to improving health care quality, access, and affordability for all North Carolinians. • Workgroup members are asked to draw on their expertise and perspective from across industries sectors with an eye toward supporting the greater goal of a statewide resource for North Carolina. • Workgroups are expected to be multi-stakeholder, nonpartisan and all discussions, meetings and decision-making processes to be fully transparent. • Workgroups are asked to consider multiple stakeholder group perspectives when working toward solutions. • Workgroups will be asked to make consensus-based recommendations to the NC HIE governing board. In cases where consensus is not reached, the workgroup is expected to put forth a balanced, fair consideration of the pros and cons of an issue. • Workgroup members are expected to respect the opinions and input of others and to engage in fair meeting conduct to work toward consensus recommendations. • Workgroup members are strongly encouraged to attend meetings in person whenever possible. • Public stakeholder input is encouraged.
