Initiatives of the PCAB, along with agency administration and members of the TSLI/HHB Executive Board are:
- To heighten the public’s knowledge of TSLI/HHB and its services
- To gain greater private sector fiscal support
- To annually promote a gala event
- To establish a major gift giving campaign
