State Leader Transition Committees

Before, during, and following periods of state leader transition, it is critical for incoming leaders to strategize and build consensus around the topics and policy issues most in need of immediate addressing. The Hunt Institute developed the Advisory Committee model to serve as a platform for incoming state education policy chief executives (state superintendents/secretaries, state higher education executive officers, and early childhood directors) to foster these important discussions and build a broad network of supporters.
