Advisory Council

Gasp staff and Board of Directors sometimes face difficult situations that need specialized advice. Our Advisory Council is an informal network of experts who offer guidance to our staff and directors. We seek trusted advisors with experience in the health, legal, energy, financial marketing and other industries. If you’re interested in learning more about our Advisory Council, contact Executive Director Michael Hansen at [email protected] or 205.938.4270.
