Digital Advisory Council

The PBS Station Digital Advisory Council (DAC) is comprised of a group of key leaders within the public television system. Its members act as advocates for stations and collaborate with PBS Interactive to ensure that stations' needs are met and priorities considered as PBS Interactive delivers products and services to the system.

DAC members actively participate in soliciting and sharing station feedback and assisting with general outreach within the system. Feedback and outreach activities include participating in PBS Interactive professional development events; providing feedback on draft communications; actively participating on the PBS Interactive Station Products & Innovation blog and participating in other mentoring activities involving stations.
