The Maxwell School Advisory Board is comprised of 40 men and women who have a keen appreciation for the mission of the school. Their role is to provide advice and counsel to the dean and other school leaders.

Board members are accomplished, distinguished members of the world of business, government, and policy. Many of them are also graduates of the Maxwell School.

The board meets twice each year, and gathers at other times as needed, in smaller groups to address specific issues. The board plays a key role in helping to shape the Maxwell School's future.
