Local Advisory Committee

LISC DC is supported by a Local Advisory Committee (LAC). Our LAC includes local leaders with backgrounds in banking, urban planning, education, and nonprofit management. The LAC helps ensure the integrity and success of our program, and act as a spokesperson and liaison between LISC and the community development field in DC.
