Advisors

The DLF Advisory Committee meets annually and provides recommendations for and feedback on DLF program activities and initiatives. Matters brought before the Advisory Committee for discussion can include budget, strategic direction, performance, and goals. Advisory Committee members are appointed by the president of CLIR, with approval of the CLIR Board.

Liaisons from the CLIR Board

The Advisory Board includes liaisons to DLF from the CLIR Board of Directors. These are current CLIR Board members who serve as a bridge between the Board of Directors, the DLF Advisory Committee, and the DLF Director. Liaisons advise the CLIR Board on issues relating to the DLF strategic plan, program direction, community issues, governance, and membership fees.

DLF Community Advisors

Beginning in 2011, at least three positions on the Advisory Committee have been drawn from the DLF community at large. Additional Community Advisors may be appointed from time to time by the president of CLIR and the DLF Director, with approval of the CLIR Board. Community Advisors’ terms are for three years, renewable once. At present, fully half of the DLF Advisory Committee are Community Advisors.
