Governance

NBR's operations are governed by the Board of Directors, a nationally prominent group of leaders with long-term interests in the Asia-Pacific region. NBR’s research agenda is developed in consultation with the Board of Advisors, which consists of experts from research centers, universities, corporations, and Congress. In addition to advising NBR, Congressional members of the Board of Advisors—a bipartisan group of 34 Senators and 52 Representatives—periodically participate in NBR activities and call on NBR for information, research reports, and expertise on security and economic policy in the region.
