Advisory Council

In addition to the Executive Committee, CGES has an Advisory Council that meets annually. The purpose of the Advisory Council is to complement the academic and administrative expertise of the Director, and provide advice and practical support on matters concerning the economic well-being of CGES. In particular, the Advisory Council seeks to assist the Director with ideas to raise funds to support students and activities of CGES, strengthen the CGES’s ability to recruit top students, aid in the placement of students and alumni, and expand CGES’s professional network.
