    • Graduate business education
    • Management trends and strategies
    • Local, regional, and global business and industry issues
    • Other concepts that might favorably influence and impact the Dolan School of Business and its academic and outreach programs
  • Assist in identifying speakers and promoting the educational programs of the Dolan School of Business to achieve increased recognition on a national and international scale.
  • Assist the School in meeting its financial development needs through direct participation in the identification and cultivation of significant forms of support from individuals and organizations within its principal constituencies.
