The History WORKS Advisory Board provides overall management and evaluation for the project. It ensures that History WORKS continues to meet its goals and improve the teaching and learning of American history in Columbus Public Schools.

It meets twice yearly to set strategy and evaluate the progress of the program, review the budget and the seminar schedule, discuss upcoming events, and provide recommendations on direction and strategy.

The Advisory Board is chaired by Joan Platz, and includes representatives from all three partners as well as outside experts.

For general contact information, see Contact Us.
