Education Advisory Board
The Education Advisory Board provides valuable and necessary input for the IAPP programming team’s live event and web conference development process. The EAB advises and assists with review and selection of submitted conference speaking proposals. EAB members are frequently called upon to speak themselves and/or offer advice and suggestions on speakers and topics of interest to members.
