Marianne Wanamaker, associate professor of economics at the University of Tennessee’s Haslam College of Business, will be at the White House on Wednesday for the first meeting of President Donald Trump’s American Workforce Policy Advisory Board, according to a news release.

The advisory board is to make recommendations to the President’s National Council for the American Worker, established by executive order in July 2018. The 25-member board is co-chaired by the president’s daughter Ivanka Trump and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross.

“The board aims to develop and implement a strategy to revamp the American workforce for the well-paid, in-demand jobs of the 21st century,” its official description says.

“The board also will promote private-sector investments in American workers,” according to the announcement of Wanamaker’s appointment.

Less than three weeks ago she was named to the board, joining CEOs of major companies, government officials, other educators and nonprofit representatives.

“It is an honor to be called to serve on the Workforce Policy Advisory Board,” Wanamaker said in a news release upon her appointment. “The economics profession has produced a wealth of evidence to inform some of the board’s key questions, and I look forward to bringing those perspectives to the board’s process.”

She is expected to serve on the board through July 2020.

Wanamaker has been at UT since receiving her doctorate in 2009 from Northwestern University, according to UT’s website. She was on leave for the 2017-2018 academic year, when she served a one-year term as chief domestic economist on the President’s Council of Economic Advisers, according to her biography on the university website.
