Angela Hawken serves as a member of DCC's Board of Directors. She is Vice Dean for Research and Professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Government and Policy, where her work focuses on public policy, governance, and institutional reform. Hawken has worked extensively with international and multilateral institutions. For the U.S. Department of State, she trained mid-career civil servants in Georgia on policy analysis. For the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), she developed cross-country measurement tools on corruption and gender inequality for the Human Development Reports and played a central role in designing a corruption-monitoring system in Afghanistan.

She continues to consult regularly for the United Nations and the U.S. Department of State and is engaged in developing governance and corruption measurement instruments in the Asia-Pacific region.
