Brown (chair), University of California, Los Angeles; Emily Epstein, University of Colorado at Denver and Health Sciences Center; Janet Gertz, Columbia University; Ron Lieberman, The Family Album; Daryl Morrison, University of California, Davis; Phyllis Payne, Boston University; Andrea Rolich, University of Wisconsin-Madison; Bruce Tabb, University of Oregon; and Jennifer Hain Teper, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
