The Research Bureau - Board of Directors

The Research Bureau is governed by a large and diverse Board of Directors, whose members are community leaders in a broad spectrum of professions, academia and business. The Board of Directors elects a thirteen-member Executive Committee which meets monthly and sets policy for the organization. The four-member staff reports directly to the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee, in collaboration with the staff, determines which research shall be undertaken. Citizens and public officials are encouraged to call, write or email the Bureau with suggestions for topics to be studied.
