Advisory Council
Contributing leadership. Shared responsibility. Collective progress.
DAA’s Advisory Council brings together senior communications professionals who contribute perspective, insight, and guidance to support the Alliance’s mission and priorities.
Advisory Council members help DAA:
Sense emerging challenges and opportunities across the industry
Inform programming, research, and convenings
Strengthen accountability and relevance in communications leadership
This is a contribution-based role designed for leaders who want to help shape the field — not just participate in it.
Who the Advisory Council Is For
The Advisory Council is suited for communications leaders who:
Hold senior roles across agencies, organizations, or institutions
Bring lived experience, professional expertise, and thoughtful perspective
Are committed to equity, accountability, and strengthening industry standards
Are interested in contributing insight rather than governing operations
(Council membership is distinct from DAA’s Board of Directors.)
What Participation Looks Like
Advisory Council members may be invited to:
Participate in select briefings or listening sessions
Offer feedback on emerging issues, research themes, or initiatives
Serve as thought partners to DAA leadership and staff
Support industry convenings or learning moments as appropriate
Time commitment and engagement vary by initiative.
