Our Advisory Board provides suggestions about possible projects, points to funding opportunities, connects us with same-minded individuals, and provides guidance.
They each come from diverse disciplinary backgrounds, and bring a wealth of experience and understanding in cultural and non-profit matters. We have especially sought people who are based in the Caribbean, but also people who are based in the U.S. but who have Caribbean interests in their heart.
We are grateful for their kind participation and for generously providing their time and expertise.
