ADVISORY BOARD
The Advisory Board (A-Board) are a group of alumnae that served on WIB’s Leadership Team during their time at Brown. Every semester, each WIB committee is paired with a member of the Advisory Board. A-Board members meet with the chairs of their paired WIB committee at least once a semester to provide advice and answer questions about the work and direction of the committee. At the end of the semester, all of the committee chairs, as well as the President and Vice Presidents of WIB, deliver a final presentation to the entire A-Board in order to share a full update on the progress of WIB over the semester.
