An Advisory Board provides the CTE Research Network Lead team with strategic guidance on achieving the network goals as well as with input on network priorities and research activities. Board members represent a range of roles, organizations, and areas of expertise, including state CTE directors, district CTE administrators and teachers, university researchers and professors, and workforce development and industry leaders. The Board meets as a whole twice a year. In between meetings, board members participate in network work groups, provide timely feedback on network plans, and support network dissemination efforts.
