BOARD OF ADVISORS
In order to provide a volunteer network of individuals to whom our organization can turn for support and advice, End Poverty Now has created a Board of Advisors. Members of the Board of Advisors can include scholars, prominent professionals, politicians, and community leaders. We believe that these advisors act as mentors to our organization and provide essential experience and assistance to End Poverty Now that we may not otherwise be able to acquire. Members serve on a volunteer basis and have no direct responsibilities, duties, or influence on the organization’s policies.
Current Members of the Board of Advisors:
Waheed Ahmad, Legal Aid Commissioner for the International Criminal Court
Philip Oxhorn, Director for the Centre for Developing Areas at McGill University.
Sarah Turner, Associate Professor for the Department of Geography at McGill University.
