CLS has a dedicated seven‐member board of directors, a fifteen‐member international advisory committee, and an eleven‐member editorial board. All consist of renowned scholars and Lao professionals from across the business, education, international development, legal, and arts sectors. The Executive Director leads CLS’s operations and manages consultants and works closely with the Program Director to implement and oversee programs, development and communications. CLS’s volunteers include a graphic artist, a bookkeeper, and an organizational development consultant specializing in nonprofit capacity building. The Journal of Lao Studies is managed by a volunteer, multidisciplinary editorial board representing a number of academic institutions from around the world.
