Policy Liaisons

Supporting NAU’s policy agenda

Members of the Policy Advisory Committee also serve as policy liaisons who act as key advisors, facilitators and advocates for policy-related matters associated with or originating from their respective areas. Anyone interested in a policy matter is encouraged to contact the appropriate policy liaison. Working in collaboration with their supervisory chain of command and the Director for Policy, the policy liaisons are responsible for advancing the Policy Advisory Committee’s mission. Policy liaisons are nominated by their area’s senior executive and are appointed by the President.
