University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research

National Advisory Council

The National Advisory Council (NAC) was created in 1999 to provide the ISR director and the Center directors with an external source of advice about key issues that it faces and to help ISR achieve its mission and goals. In addition, NAC members assist in long-range planning for ISR and serve as ambassadors for the institute.

The names and organizational affiliations of the individuals who serve on the NAC are listed below.
