The Beacon Council

Advisory Board of Trustees (ABT):

Advisory Board of Trustees (ABT): This newly created body will have the mission of providing expertise and support in both an advisory role as well as a leadership development role.

 

The ABT shall focus on external operational issues rather than internal operational issues, such as emerging trends/issues in a think tank environment. It will also recommend possible strategic direction(s) for the Board of Directors based on identifying industry trends that will feed into the annual business plan.  The ABT will provide a forum to engage the community in attracting and retaining business in our area.  In addition, the ABT shall identify and recruit individuals who have insight and demonstrate effective leadership qualities in the community. 

The ABT shall design, develop and implement mentoring and development activities to enhance the professional community involvement of The Beacon Council. The ABT will also assess the factors that enhance or inhibit the commitment and motivation of members and recommend activities to improve The Beacon Council’s effectiveness in creating superior performance from its members including the Board of Directors.
