Appointed to Board in 2004
The Center for Public Policy Priorities is a non-partisan, non-profit policy research organization committed to improving public policies and private practices that influence the economic and social prospects and conditions of individuals, families, and communities.

Archer Center Board of Advisors
Appointed to Board in 2002
The Archer Center is the home of all academic programs and experiential learning in Washington, DC for students, staff, faculty, and alumni from the various campuses of the UT System. During the summer of 2001, the Archer Center and the LBJ School of Public Affairs partnered to provide the first Summer Speakers Series. Through this weekly program, LBJ interns and Archer alumni could come together for intellectual and career development sessions with noted experts throughout Washington, DC. These 2-hour sessions allowed participants unusual access to individuals such as Susan Rice, Sidney Weintraub, and Henry Gandy. The Summer Speakers Series has continued each summer since 2001. In 2004, the program was expanded to include DC-based alumni of the LBJ School.

Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management
Elected to Policy Council 2002-2006
The Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management (APPAM) aspires to be the leading professional organization dedicated to blending the talents of researchers, educators and practitioners in the production, dissemination and application of analysis bearing on public concerns. The Association is and aims to remain much more than an interdisciplinary umbrella. Through APPAM, public policy analysis and management will continue evolving toward an integrated field of study that supports the applied professions that address societal problems and opportunities.

Center for Budget and Policy Priorities
Appointed to Board in 2000
Founded in 1981, the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities has emerged over the past two decades as one of the leading organizations in the country working on fiscal policy issues and issues affecting low- and moderate-income families and individuals. The Center specializes in research and analysis oriented toward policy decisions that policymakers face at both federal and state levels. The Center examines data and research findings and produces analyses designed to be accessible to public officials, other non-profit organizations, and the media.

Children's Futures
Appointed to Board in 2001
Research has told us that much of a child's learning ability takes shape during his or her earliest years. So how does a community take advantage of this knowledge and combine it with its own unique attributes to forge a new way to improve the lives of children from prenatal to age three? One answer may be found in Trenton, New Jersey. Trenton's 85,000 residents are participating in an initiative called Children's Futures, established on the premise that improvements can be made by working on a daily basis to advance children's health and development within one community. And to their credit, the citizens, non profit health care and educational organizations, child serving professionals, faith based leaders and elected officials have embraced these efforts to improve the lives of infants, toddlers and parents.

National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare
Appointed to Board in 2001
The National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare was founded in 1982 to serve as an advocate for the landmark federal programs of Social Security and Medicare and for all Americans who seek a healthy, productive and secure retirement. With millions of members and supporters across America, we are the nation's second-largest grassroots citizens organization devoted to the retirement future for all citizens - from our "twenty-something" generation and baby-boomers to the nation's thirty-four million seniors.
