Board of Advisors

The Elliott School Board of Advisors serves as an advisory body to the Dean, it promotes the school nationally and internationally, and it supports the school financially. The Board is comprised of American and international leaders from diverse professional backgrounds in public service, the private sector, and the nonprofit world. The Board has made tremendous contributions to the Elliott School's academic and institutional advancement. The Elliott School community is deeply grateful to the Board's members for their generous commitments of time, expertise, and resources.
