Meet the Duke-Margolis Advisory Board
In conjunction with the launch event, the Center announced the membership of our advisory board, who also participated in the launch as part of panel discussions.
Approximately fifteen senior advisors serve on the advisory board, bringing experience from policy-relevant public and private sectors including healthcare payers, legislative, biomedical, foundation, and high technology. The Board’s advisory function will be served predominantly through participation in bi-annual face-to-face meetings, alternating between the Washington, DC and Durham, NC locations, but advisors may also provide occasional advice for particular initiatives.
