Board of Visitors

The Institute on Business and Government Affairs’ Board of Visitors consists of members actively involved in the Institute as intern sponsors and corporate donors. The Board’s function is primarily advisory to assist with the program’s annual activities. Responsibilities include assistance in recruiting applicants, securing internship sites, finding underwriters for the Congressional Scholarship Awards event, identifying new corporate donors and suggesting guest speakers for the program’s weekly panel discussions. The Board meets once in the spring and once in the fall in Washington, D.C.

The Fund for American Studies President Roger Ream presents the 2007 Corporate Award for continued support of the Institute to Lisa Nelson of Visa, Inc., along with her intern David Steines
