The Collaborative Initiative on Financing Professional Development in Education Advisory Group guides and informs our work, and we look to its members for professional expertise, innovative ideas, and practical advice to help create a better understanding of financing issues that affect the design and implementation of professional development programs and innovative strategies to address them. The Advisory Group also serves as a collaborative center, ensuring that The Finance Project's work, as well as that of other scholars and professional groups, is coordinated, cumulated, and disseminated in ways that will effectively expand knowledge of how to align investment strategies with education reform goals.
