Advisory Committee

The Advisory Committee plays a vital role in shaping the agenda for the Center's research. The approximately 30-member Advisory Committee is composed of top level representatives from the public and private sectors who draw on their experience and expertise to evaluate Center activities. Advisory Committee members meet every six months to discuss the operations of the Center and to plan its future directions. Selected researchers present their latest findings at the meetings, and Committee members engage them in a challenging exchange regarding the practical significance, strengths, and weaknesses of their research.
