Advisory Board

The ICER Advisory Board is comprised of Flagship members of ICER’s Policy Leadership Forum and other select stakeholders. The Advisory Board meets annually with ICER’s Governance Board to provide guidance on ICER’s overall portfolio of activities and strategic plan. The Advisory Board provides perspective and advice to ICER on how it can best fulfill its mission, but the Advisory Board has no direct governance role.
