Community Advisory Board
The Center invites members of the community, including University of Utah affiliates, to join its new Community Advisory Board.
The Board will strengthen connections between the Center and the broader community, provide strategic guidance on programming, and support the Center's development initiatives.
See the Community Advisory Board Terms of Reference (pdf) for more information.
To express your interest in joining the Board, please send a CV/resume and cover letter (no longer than two pages) addressing the following topics:
- Humanities: Describe your experience—educational, personal, or professional—with the humanities. What do you value in the humanities?
- Experience: Describe your previous experience in community organizations, associations, non-profits, or development.
- Ideas: What perspectives or expertise could you bring to the board? In particular, how could you help the Center engage with new audiences and innovative types of programming?
