Strategic Advisors
The Education Trust–West’s Strategic Advisor Council comprises civil rights, education, public policy, business, and community leaders with demonstrated commitment to educational equity. By working closely with our Executive Director, our Strategic Advisors serve as critical thought partners and community connectors by providing professional expertise, knowledge of constituent perspectives, and connections to local and national resources and networks. The Strategic Advisor Council lends additional layers of diversity and provides new views for and with Ed Trust–West, including public policy, narrative change, and community engagement. In addition to serving as ambassadors and advocates in the community, Ed Trust–West’s Strategic Advisors weigh in on the organization’s strategic planning and priorities, financial sustainability, and amplification of work across the state.
