Advancement - AYSPS Board of Advisors
at the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies

Advisory Board

The Board of Advisors is an important part of the Andrew Young School. Members provide ideas and suggestions, serve as a sounding board of our ideas, and represent us in the community.

Our board members are cheerleaders, advise on our program development and even participate in it, support our important events, and help us raise funds. There is one board meeting a year, in the fall; although from time to time special called meetings are held.

We ask each board member to find an area of particular interest in the School, e.g., one of our centers, programs or departments. We want them to learn about that program in some depth, try and get involved with what they do, and then help us find intellectual and practitioner support as well as core funding for that program. This is a long term activity (it takes time to develop programs and to raise funds). Board members provide critical perspective, and their advice and leadership are very important to us.
