Private Sector P3 Advisory Board

The P3 Advisory Board is comprised of members from the private sector. These companies provide a cross-disciplinary perspective and help identify blindspots in the P3 process that would otherwise hamper a Mayor’s efforts to successfully deliver a project via a P3. The P3 Task Force Chair and the P3 Council will rely on insight from the Advisory Board to help develop the P3 Best Practices Guide and Toolkit, the P3 Playbook for cities.
