Program Leadership Councils
Program Leadership Councils
Each of Brookings’s research programs has established a Leadership Council that brings together business and community leaders to explore Brookings’s independent research. The Program Leadership Councils (PLCs) take part in scholar briefings, discussions, and other policy-relevant activities that provide deep insights into the challenges facing society. They provide critical financial resources that make it possible for Brookings scholars to achieve impact with actionable solutions that inform policymakers and the public debate. The PLCs are valued members of the Brookings community, and the Institution is grateful for their support and involvement.
