Similar to an executive director role at a non-profit or research institute, the Lab Director(s) translate the overall vision and mission of either/org into an actionable agenda.
The Guiding Council holds the vision of either/org and steers it in alignment with shared goals and values. The Guiding Council brings their wisdom from a variety of lived experiences, professional disciplines, and theories of change.
