Advisory Committee on Public Issues
The Advisory Committee on Public Issues advises the Ad Council on the nation’s most pressing social issues. This group includes leaders across media, nonprofit, research, academia, philanthropy and public policy, and serves as the incubator for all future Ad Council campaigns.
During biannual meetings, the Advisory Committee helps the Ad Council identify emerging issues, evaluate potential new campaigns and recommend potential campaign sponsors. With their support, the Ad Council is able to prioritize the most important and relevant causes to address.
