The Leadership Council

UB is grateful for the guidance of our Leadership Council composed of executives from New York City agencies, nonprofits, and businesses that are at the forefront of early childhood work in New York City. The Leadership Council began convening in December of 2017 and has continued to grow and evolve as UB has grown.

The Leadership Council is explicitly not a decision-making body but an advisory group that lends advice and otherwise facilitates our work.
