Board of Advisors Inquiry
Position:
The Advisory Board will support the work of Designing Dreams and fill knowledge gaps in the organization. This Board is a group of experts who lend their skills, guidance, and knowledge to our organization.

* Expanding an organization’s network and connecting an organization to a new audience
* Guiding the organization’s board leadership in specific subject matters
