The Analysis Council is a group which supports the Institute Board of Directors by brainstorming and recommending ideas to the Board, thereby playing a vital role in improving the Institute’s overall functionality and productivity.
Members who are active in the Analysis Council participate primarily via email to share thoughts and ideas. They also attend, if possible, our three meetings each year: in fall, in spring, and at the summer conference in July.
