Board of Directors


"When you consider the many keys to a successful organization, look no further than your board of Directors. When the Washington Policy Center (WPC) set out to double its budget, staff and impact five years ago, havining a deidcated board was deemed essential. In retrospect, now that we have accomplished our first set of goals, we can confidently say the work and support of our board has been instrumental to our achievements." - WPC President Dann Mead Smith
