The Phi II Program Committee
Each year, the LRI team selects 10-12 alumni to serve on the Program Committee. Led by two co-chairs, participation on the committee is a prestigious volunteer role that benefits the breadth and depth of the Core Program experience. Alumni are selected based on their expertise, connectivity to issues, relationship to the annual theme, and for their collective range of perspectives, opinions, and backgrounds. The committee, which formally meets bi-monthly, is tasked with providing insights and ideas that lead to session day design. This input ensures that the class is better informed of the most critical issues currently facing our state.
