The IGPA Advisory Committee provides expert advice to help expand the contributions, effectiveness, and visibility of the Institute. This committee will advise IGPA leadership about the relevance of current initiatives, the types of research and public service programs the Institute should be sponsoring, and new opportunities to inform discussion and debate about public policy issues important to Illinois and the nation. We also seek the committee's advice for strengthening the Institute's external relationships and partnership-building with governmental, civic and business leaders.
