Our Advisors

We couldn’t do the work we do without the wisdom of our advisors. Our program staff works with a diverse cross-section of deliberative experts – including our former Panelists, former and current moderators, international colleagues, public engagement professionals, and project partners – to ensure each new program builds and improves upon our last. From this “roster” of willing collaborators, we use lottery selection to choose advisor teams on a project-by project basis. This model allows us to co-design our processes with a greater variety of people over time and allows our advisors to serve in a high-impact, limited-duration capacity. We are immensely grateful for their contributions and continued support. Meet our pool of Program Advisors.
