PAFTAD is directed by a distinguished International Steering Committee (ISC) and an Advisory Board.
The ISC, chaired by Professor Mari Pangestu of the University of Indonesia, is currently made up of 18 senior academics and policymakers based in different Asia Pacific countries. ISC members meet at each conference to discuss and shape PAFTAD’s direction. Advisory Board members provide additional input on PAFTAD’s research agenda.
