Advisory Council
The Ransom Center's Advisory Council is the foundation and reflection of our growing strength. Aside from being the Center's staunchest supporters and an important source of practical advice, the Council serves as a bridge to the broader public. With each passing year, the Council grows not only in prestige but also in diversity of talent providing a solid base of support for the Center.
Representation by members from the Austin area is important to foster outreach within the local community. Members from areas statewide and beyond provide the Center with an international perspective.
The Council meets in Austin each spring and fall, though members are involved in the Center's activities and programs throughout the year.
