Advisory Council

Members of the School of Business and Public Administration Advisory Council play an important role in the strategy and operations of the School. Since its founding, council members have helped shape the School’s curriculum and provided counsel to the dean on strategic, operational, and financial directions for the School.

Mission

The Advisory Council’s mission is to provide external perspective and review as well as advocacy and support for the school’s programs, strategic direction, and overall objectives.

Appointments

Members are recommended by the Dean of the School of Business and Public Administration and appointed by the Chairman of the SBPA Advisory Council. Members serve a term of three years and may be reappointed to serve additional terms.

Officers

The Council selects a chair to serve for a minimum of one year. When appropriate, the Chairman and the Dean ask specific individuals to take on additional tasks in order to facilitate the work of the Council. The Chairman is an ex-officio member of any committees organized to handle special projects or issues.

Meetings

The full Council holds quarterly meetings, at the call of the Chairman or the Dean. In most cases, meetings are held at the University of Guam, School of Business and Public Administration Dean’s Conference Room. Other meetings of the Council or its appointed committees are convened at the call of the Chairman or Dean.
