Snap Safety Advisory Board

Meet Snap's Safety Advisory Board Members

On November 5, 2026, Snap announced a newly constituted Safety Advisory Board (SAB) that brings together 20 members from nine countries. Members bring expertise in child safety, mental health, public safety, and technology and product safety, alongside lived experience, academic and research excellence, law enforcement, civil society and the perspective of the Snapchat generation.

This is a moment of both continuity and change. We are grateful to the members who served on the previous Board, and especially pleased that seven are continuing into this next term. We are also welcoming 13 new members, including five young people, three of whom are alumni of Snap's teen Councils for Digital Well-Being program. Over a three-year term, this group will help us test our assumptions, identify issues we may be missing, and bring independent perspectives to the decisions that affect our community.
