Board of Executive Advisors

The Board of Executive Advisors of the College of Business is key to the success of the college. As stakeholders, they represent many types of organizations and geographic regions.

Members serve for a six year term after which they may become associate members. Members and associate members meet formally twice a year. In addition members have a partnership with the college where we may assist each other in many ways.

Members are asked at each meeting to provide the college with advice on a variety of matters such as:

  • Strategic planning
  • Hiring and promotion practices
  • Global business issues
  • Workplace diversity
  • Assessment areas

The college has a long history of infusing these ideas to make our curriculum and operations reflective of good business practice. The Board is highly respected by the faculty, administration and students as facilitators, speakers, and voluntary financial supporters of the College of Business.
