Community Advisory Board
About Our Board
From the beginning of its investment in the science and practice of coastal resilience, Old Dominion University has sought to build and grow partnerships to leverage the faculty’s interdisciplinary research expertise. ICAR’s emphasis on engagement with the community and collaboration with partners comes to life through its Community Advisory Board, a diverse collection of experts and advocates also invested in coastal resilience.

Testimonials
“Adaptation is an ever-evolving process, especially as we grapple with climate and environmental changes. As ICAR continues to address the scope of health concerns that impact coastal resilience, communities will be better informed on how to prepare for disasters and sea level rise, and can make sound decisions that affect day-to-day life.”
Gina Harris
“ICAR provides a uniquely designed outcome of maximizing benefits to ALL communities to ensure district scale resilience and sustainability; moving communities particularly those on our coast that are underserved from striving to thriving.”
Garry Harris
“The Institute for Coastal Adaptation and Resilience (ICAR) by reaching out and cooperating with the community, is one of Virginia’s most vital and important assets to protect the future survival of the people and property of Virginians.”
