HSRC Policy Board— Guiding the Center into a New Millennium

story contents:
introduction
| policy board members


Introduction

The Highway Safety Research Center policy board meets twice a year to provide general guidance and assistance to the Center. Since HSRC Director Dr. H. Douglas Robertson's arrival, the board has expanded from 10 members to 16. The majority of the new members are either from the transportation safety field or the medical community. To further broaden the perspective of the board, Robertson hopes to add a member from the business community. The Board held its first meeting of the new century on February 21, and reviewed HSRC's new strategic plan. Says Robertson, "It is a real pleasure to work with such an esteemed group of colleagues and professionals. Their advice has proven to be very helpful."
