We are grateful and proud of our association with prior colleagues who have helped build our organization. Advisory Board members have generously offered their invaluable wisdom and experience as we develop. Former staff members worked tirelessly to execute the vision of The Opportunity Agenda. Finally, we have been lucky to have many enthusiastic and energetic interns, who have helped us approach our thinking new ways.
