The Center for Effective Philanthropy's work is guided by an Advisory Board of foundation leaders,
consultants, and academicians. The Advisory Board meets annually. Sub-committees on key CEP
research initiatives, such as governance and operational benchmarking, meet more frequently to
provide advice and counsel to CEP staff.
