Committee Structure

The Health Advisory Board comprises three committees, which serve the Board and the School more broadly.

Development Committee

The Development Committee identifies, cultivates, solicits, and stewards major donors whose philanthropic interests align with the School. The Committee consults on campaign messaging, hosts regional dinners with new major donor prospects to promote the School, and assists the Committee chair and the Dean to ensure 100% HAB member giving.

Chair: Irene C. Frary    Staff Liaison: Heath A. Elliott

Membership Committee

The Membership Committee identifies and solicits new members to the Health Advisory Board. The Committee evaluates current members in their final year for possible renewal, and strengthens other volunteer roles across the School.

Chair: Stephen G. Moore    Staff Liaison: Jimmie Lou DeBakey

Innovation & Commercialization Committee

The Innovation & Commercialization Committee promotes and brands the School as an incubator of knowledge based solutions that impact public health. The committee develops new partnerships that broaden the base of support, and creates a culture among the faculty to take advantage of the opportunities to commercialize research and create revenue for the faculty and the School.

Chair: Caroline Popper    Staff Liaison: Jackson Ireland
