We’re excited to introduce you to the Narrative Initiative’s Advisory Board. Each of these people inspires us daily with their deep experience and innovative ideas. Collectively, it’s a diverse group working in advocacy, storytelling, strategic communications, nonprofit leadership, law, academics and other fields.

We also want to thank outgoing Advisory Board members: Elizabeth Cahill, Ben King, David Morse and Hilary Pennington. Elizabeth, Ben, David and Hillary have provided invaluable insights, counsel and contributions to our work the past two years.
