Overview

Triangle Tomorrow's Regional Advisory Council (RAC) meets regularly to set the strategic direction for the future work of the organization.The Council discusses and reviews proposed projects and initiatives to ensure that they address topics that are truly regional in scope.

As Triangle Tomorrow transitioned to more action oriented projects, the organization didn't want to loose its original purpose as a think tank on regional issues. The Regional Advisory Council was formed to serve as the group to set Triangle Tomorrow's regional agenda for future project work.

Council members are comprised of top-level leadership from Triangle Tomorrow's Gold Members, area Universities and Technical Community Colleges.
