Advisory Board

Up for Growth's Advisory Board is comprised of leading experts across the housing spectrum, including accounting, finance, academia, planning, development, and law. The purpose of the Advisory Board is to review and offer constructive feedback on Up for Growth National Coalition’s research agenda and research projects, as well as general organizational advice.

While the Advisory Board’s contributions to the organization are invaluable, it should be noted that research released by Up for Growth and reviewed by the Advisory Board is not necessarily reflective of the views of each individual member, or their organizations, and should not be characterized as such. In addition, Advisory Board members serve in their own capacities and independently of the organizations and institutions they represent.
