The Ad Council, a nonprofit organization known for public service campaigns like Smokey Bear and gun safety initiatives, has elected 17 new members to its board of directors. <\/p>\n

Tara Walpert Levy, vice president of YouTube Americas, continues to serve as the board\u2019s chair, while Carla Hassan, chief marketing officer at JPMorganChase, has been elevated to the role of vice chair.<\/p>\n

The Ad Council\u2019s board comprises 162 senior executives from across the media, marketing, tech, and business sectors. Members provide guidance, expertise, and financial support to help ensure the nonprofit\u2019s campaigns address key national issues, such as mental health, substance use, gun violence, and hate.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s appointees represent a wide range of industries\u2014from retail and tech to sports and entertainment\u2014and bring perspectives shaped by years of brand and platform leadership. Among them is Emily Wilcox, CEO of TBWA\\Chiat\\Day New York, who said the Ad Council\u2019s mission aligns closely with her own motivation for working in the industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we do for a living can be so powerful when deployed for the right causes and that\u2019s why I am excited to get started and help the organization continue its mission,\u201d Wilcox told ADWEEK. \u201cIt is what made me fall in love with this business and why I show up every day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tim Clark, executive vice president and chief brand officer at NASCAR, also emphasized the opportunity to collaborate with other industry leaders to impact social good.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Ad\u00a0Council\u00a0Board of Directors\u2026 brings together leaders with exceptional expertise, resources, and access to platforms that can make a real, measurable difference in communities across the country,\u201d Clark said.<\/p>\n

Jackelyn Keller, chief marketing officer at Comscore, noted that the intersection of purpose and data-driven strategy makes the board\u2019s work especially relevant.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe\u00a0Ad\u00a0Council\u00a0reinforces that when storytelling meets purpose, it can shape culture\u2014and move people,\u201d she said. \u201cWe know data makes that impact measurable and actionable.\u201d<\/p>\n
