National Advertising Review Board (NARB) of the BBB National Programs Announces its Distinguished 2020 NARB Panel Members from Leading Companies, Advertising Agencies, and Universities

NEW YORK, Dec. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- BBB National Programs, Inc. (BBB NP) is pleased to announce the 2020 National Advertising Review Board (NARB) Panel Members for 2020. The NARB Panel Members are selected for their standing and expertise in the advertising field to serve with the advertising industry's only peer-review organization.

NARB is the appellate body for the advertising industry's program of self-regulation. Parties to a National Advertising Division (NAD) matter may appeal (or, in the case of the challenger, petition for a right to appeal) the decision to a five-member NARB panel for an independent review.

For 2020, NARB Panel Members will be made up of 87 distinguished leaders from three different categories: (i) national advertisers (49), (ii) advertising agencies (26), and (iii) public members (academics and other members of the public sector) (12). Each appellate panel consists of five members from the NARB pool with three national advertising representatives, one agency representative, and one public sector representative.

NARB Panel Members are nominated for their stature and experience in their respective fields. Nominations are primarily made by the BBB National Programs, Inc., Association of National Advertisers, American Association of Advertising Agencies, and American Advertising Federation. The initial term is two years, and each member is eligible to be re-appointed for two additional two-year terms.

Due to a rise in the number of appeals in the last few years, NARB has increased the number of NARB Panel Pool Members in 2020 from 71 to 87. Even with the recent increases in appeals, 85 percent of NAD decisions are not appealed.  

NARB provides for industry peer review of NAD decisions, helping to promote the voluntary compliance that is a pillar of industry self-regulation. Five-member NARB panels are convened to review disputed decisions of NAD and Children's Advertising Review Unit (CARU). NARB panelists examine the record of NAD or CARU proceedings and make determinations as to the truth and accuracy of the advertising claims at issue. More information about the NARB process is here.

"NARB's reputation and standard of excellence is well-known in the advertising industry and our 2020 NARB Panel is no exception," said Eric D. Reicin, President and Chief Executive Officer of BBB National Programs, Inc. "The advertising landscape is evolving. In this dynamic environment, the self-regulation work of the NARB is essential to creating a more trusted and safer marketplace for business and consumers."

"I am honored to be the Chair of NARB and proud of the work this group accomplishes to ensure the success of self-regulation of the advertising industry," said Kenneth A. Plevan, NARB Chair. "Helping to maintain an advertising environment where trust exists between business and consumers is an important endeavor and I am eager to continue this work."
