Ford School Committee
The Ford School Committee
Founded in 1991 to promote and increase private support for the Ford School's students, research, and policy engagement, the Committee for the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy is comprised of leaders from the public and private sectors with an interest in public policy and higher education.
Ford School Committee members provide volunteer leadership in fundraising and review the goals, programs, and plans of the school--helping to develop new initiatives that further the school's education, research, and service objectives. Committee members assist with fundraising, provide links to policymakers and policymaking arenas, and provide counsel on higher education and public policy.
