Academic Advisory Committee

The Academic Advisory Committee (AAC) was formed in mid-2003 by NCPPP to serve as a resource to NCPPP members and the general public, and to assist in the development of informational resources on public-private partnerships. This committee holds several responsibilities, including advising on white papers, development of a white/issue paper, and to write articles for Council Insights (NCPPP's newsletter), and for NCPPP's Web site.
