Advisory boards/committees are key vehicles for faculty engagement at CTLs. However, there is no systematic study of them, meaning that educational developers must piece together information on their own. This session fills that gap by engaging participants in examining national data and the potential for their own center's governance. How many centers have boards, how large are they, what are members' campus roles, and how do characteristics vary by institutional type and size? With this framing, participants will engage with questions of purpose and focus. Why have a board and, based on objectives, what are collaborative strategies?
