Chancellor’s Philanthropy Leadership Council

The Chancellor’s Philanthropy Leadership Council works in partnership with UW Bothell’s Advancement team to help develop the relationships and catalyze the resources needed to advance the goals and priorities of UW Bothell.

We do this by building and maintaining strong ties with regional industries, business, civic agencies and organizations as well as networks of philanthropists, alumni and community members.
