National Advisory Council
A volunteer body accountable to the brigade collective
The National Advisory Council (NAC) serves the Brigade community and advises Code for America staff on the interests of the Brigade community.
In addition to its advisory role, the National Advisory Council helps Brigade network brigades build the skills they need to be successful community leaders. Members of the NAC have an expansive network and foster relationships around the country to build the civic tech movement and engage their local communities to improve government.
