Advisory Council
The Advisory Council of the MPNL and DPNL programs is a group of highly experienced professionals and creative leaders in philanthropy and the nonprofit sector. They assist with external relationships in building the programs and acting as sounding boards, helping to keep the programs updated about trends and issues — and connecting the curriculum to professional practices and networks. (The Advisory Council has no control over curriculum decisions and academic matters.)
