University of Houston's National Development Council

The National Development Council (NDC) is a presidentially appointed volunteer leadership board focused on the University’s fundraising priorities and overall case for investment. As the executive committee for the University’s Centennial Campaign, members inform and support the philanthropic strategy that will shape the University of Houston’s next century. NDC members are knowledgeable advisers and play a vital role in expanding our network and facilitating connections between significant prospects and University leadership.
