Advisory Board

The LEADER Advisory Board is designed to provide continuity and strategic direction for the program. Because LEADER is a student-run organization, initiatives are often started in one year, and not continued in the next due to changes in leadership. The Advisory Board helps ensure that initiatives with potential remain on the program’s agenda until they are complete. As an organization without stable funding, the Advisory Board is also instrumental in helping achieve the fundraising goals through their contacts in the business and government community.
