Advisory Board

The Congressional Hunger Center (CHC) expects that its Mickey Leland International Hunger Fellows Program will play an important role in enabling leaders to fight global hunger. One of the reasons for this confidence is that CHC has assembled a team of professionals who are available to guide, critique, and facilitate the process of building such a dynamic program. This International Hunger Fellows Advisory Board offers CHC credibility and stability, but more importantly, it helps CHC stay focused on the real, current global food security needs. CHC asked eight professionals to join its Advisory Board based on each individual's personal and professional humanitarian experience, his or her familiarity with the history of CHC, and his or her ability to connect Mickey Leland International Hunger Fellows to a broad array of development professionals and perspectives. The following people serve on this board:
