NATIONAL ADVISORS
The American Democracy Institute is advised by a wide array of national leaders that serve on our advisory board. As advisors these individuals assist in promoting ADI programs and the organization and aid in developing effective strategies. Advisors come from diverse professional backgrounds that include youth involvement, electoral politics, civic engagement, and electoral reform, among others. The success of ADI is in large part due to the time and talents these people dedicate.
