Board and Committees

Established by Governor Roy Cooper in February 2022, the NCLDS Advisory Board provides consultation to NCLDS. The board members are senior leaders from each entity that contributes data to NCLDS. The board also includes a non-voting member from the NC Department of Information Technology and the Governor's Office. The board provides guidance and advice to NCLDS on:

• Establishing a policy and research agenda for NCLDS;
• Developing data governance, data security, and data privacy policies for NCLDS;
• Approving new data partners for NCLDS and ensuring coordination among agencies and NCLDS; and
• Reviewing research requirements, protocols, and guidelines regarding the approval of data requests.

The board’s work is supported by two advisory committees: Data Quality and Data Governance. Each advisory committee is composed of representatives from each contributing agency, as named by the board.
