Advisory Board

The Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center benefits from the advice of some of the nation's foremost tax and budget policy experts representing a broad range of interests and expertise. The Center's advisory board meets periodically to discuss research and outreach strategy and provide feedback on the Center's work and activities. Board members are also called upon informally throughout the year for advice on projects, priorities, and analyses.
