1 April 2004 Queen's School of Business Advisory Board Charter Queen's School of Business Mission & Vision Mission: To develop outstanding leaders with a global perspective and create new knowledge that advances business and society Vision: To be one of the world s most innovative and influential business schools A) Purpose of the Advisory Board The Advisory Board s purpose is to provide Queen's School of Business with a competitive advantage, by helping it interact with the business community in a variety of ways to help achieve the School s mission. The Board s role is to: 1. Act as a sounding board for the Dean as a group and individually as requested by the Dean. 2. Offer the Dean and the School an outside perspective on issues affecting business that may have education or research implications or opportunities. 3. Provide assistance and advice as requested on School strategy, specific aspects of the strategy execution, and any operational issues where the Dean feels he or she could benefit from an outside perspective. 4. Be ambassadors for the School: with the broader Queen's University community; Queen's School of Business alumni; and other external associations and organizations. 5. Aid the School where possible in recruiting students into credit programs (Commerce, MBA and Executive MBA) and non-credit executive programs, as well as in placing students upon graduation. 6. Assist the School with its financial development needs, implemented via a committee of interested members. B) Overall Structure The Advisory Board should have 35 to 40 members. Meetings will be led by a Chair, who is appointed by the Dean. Board meetings will be held twice per year, with dates set at the start of each year. It is intended that one meeting per year will be held in Kingston. An annual social dinner will be held in June for current, retired and incoming Board members.

2 Two standing committees will be struck: a Nominating Committee and a Fundraising Committee. A limited number of additional committees will be created as needed, to work on specific areas of interest with respect to the Board s mandate e.g. alumni relations, job placement, School image and branding. C) Board Composition and Term of Board Members The term of members is 3 years, with the possibility of renewal. The Board will have a diversified and committed membership, including a representation of different industries and functions. Particular effort will focus on selecting senior executives who have a strong interest in the life and mission of the School. A representation of members from outside Canada is desirable as well, to align with the School s strategic direction. Queen's alumni will comprise at least 50% of the Board, reflecting the important role alumni have as key stakeholders in the School s success. Non-alumni Board members are vital to integrating different perspectives into the dynamic of the Board. While attendance at Board meetings is strongly encouraged, videoconference technology will be made available to allow members to participate if they cannot be present physically. D) To Maximize the Value of Each Member s Time and Contribution The intent is to create a Board that is engaged and involved and which provides a competitive edge for Queen s School of Business one that will build on Queen s pride and passion. The schedule of full Board meetings will be provided at the start of each year. Background reading materials, agendas, timetables and a clear focus will be provided in advance of all meetings. A survey will be conducted periodically to determine the best time for meetings, including preferred day of the week, time, meeting length, etc. Efforts will be made to align Advisory Board meetings with Queen's Business Club events or other Queen's gatherings. Attendance at these additional events would be voluntary, the intent being to make time spent at Board meetings even more valuable for members by expanding their contact with Queen's. E) Membership Responsibilities Key to the success of the Advisory Board is the active participation of each member in some facet of life at Queen's School of Business. Recognizing that individual members have unique circumstances, which may change over time, there are a variety of ways that members may make an important contribution. While participation in the Advisory Board is voluntary, members are encouraged to attend meetings of the Board, as well as actively engage in activities that benefit the School and complement the experience and interests of the member. Appendix A contains a list of possible activities.

3 F) Role of Board Chair A Board Chair will be appointed by the Dean. The Chair and Dean will develop the agenda for meetings. The Chair will run each meeting. The Chair should be able to devote some time to the affairs of the School, including working with the Dean. The Chair will be supportive of the key priorities of the School. The Chair could speak to the level of involvement of particular members if required. Committees will report into the Chair, who will keep groups on track with their mandate. The Chair can act as a sounding board for members of the Board on issues or opportunities to bring to the attention of the Dean The term for the Chair is two years, with the possibility of renewal. G) Advisory Board Committees The Dean will appoint a Chair of the Nomination Committee. The committee will have 2-3 volunteers from the Board. They will meet approximately twice per year (by is acceptable). A slate of proposed new members will be recommended by the Nominating Committee and approved by the Board as a whole (can be through e- mail).

The Dean of the SOM will serve as an ex-officio member of the Board, and other administrators, particularly SOM department chairs, and interested faculty members are welcome as guest members. Chairperson The Dean shall appoint the inaugural Chairperson of the Board. Future Chairpersons will be recommended by the Dean and the current chairperson and approved by a simple majority of the Board for a term of two years and may be reappointed. Members The Chairperson of the Board, in consultation with the Dean, will be responsible for the nomination and appointment of new Board members for a term of two years. Members may be reappointed by a simple majority of the Board. Any Advisory Board member may resign at any time with verbal or written notice to the Chairperson.

58 Guidelines and Procedures for Career & Technical Education Advisory Committees The purpose of an advisory committee is to provide technical assistance and resources; revise career & technical training program curriculum to meet the needs of business, industry, labor, the professional, technical trades, and/or the community it is designed to serve; and that career & technical education program graduates are capable of performing entry-level skills in the occupation in which they are trained. An advisory committee is a group of employers and employees from outside the field of education, which provides guidance and direction to educators on the design, development, implementation, evaluation, maintenance, and revision of career and technical education programs. Successful advisory committees focus on innovative, quality programs. Because representatives on the committee have first-hand information concerning current business trends, technological demands and realistic job requirements, their participation on the committee helps strengthen communication lines between education and the world of work. Membership Each advisory should consist of 8-12 individuals who are representative of the industry and of the diversity within the county. No more than one-third of the membership should be made up of adjunct faculty who are working in the field. Additional adjunct faculty, full-time faculty, and college administrators may serve as ex-officio members.

All Santiago Canyon College representatives are considered ex-officio members without voting privileges. All Santiago Canyon College adjunct faculty are considered ex-officio and do not represent industry. Biennial Review At the Coast Community College District level, the California Education Code (Section 78016) requires that, Every vocational or occupational training program offered by a community college district shall be reviewed every two years by the governing board of the district. This review must ensure that the program meets a clear labor market demand, does not unnecessarily duplicate other training programs, and has demonstrated effectiveness in program completion and employment placements. Programs that do not meet these standards must be terminated.

59 EDUCATION CODE SECTION The governing board of each school district participating in a career technical education program shall appoint a career technical education advisory committee to develop recommendations on the program and to provide liaison between the district and potential employers. The committee shall consist of one or more representatives of the general public knowledgeable about the disadvantaged, students, teachers, business, industry, school administration, and the field office of the Department of Employment Development. Frequency of Meetings California Education Code requires all Career and Technical Advisories to meet once a year in person. Should you choose a second meeting to report year end data and activities, the following web conferencing is available to you free of charge. Web conferencing is available free though the CCC Confer project which is located at Palomar College in San Marcos, California and funded from a grant from the California Community Colleges Chancellor s Office. The project was initially funded in February 2001 in order to offer the CCC system a viable means to meet and collaborate at a distance. CCC Confer was led by a Project Director, three managers and a small staff. CCC Confer was designed to allow communication and collaboration, using the latest Web conferencing technology, for all staff, faculty and administrators in the California Community Colleges system. It is ADA and Section 508 accessible. CCC Confer continues to be available for all staff, faculty and administrators throughout the California Community College system at The dates and times for each meeting are planned to allow for the greatest participation by members. The Faculty Chair/Facilitator in conjunction with the Dean and division staff will prepare the agenda for the meeting. 519 Responsibilities of Committee Members Each Advisory Committee member is expected to: Attend meetings regularly Participate in the Committee discussion Serve on subcommittees when requested Study carefully any problems that come before the Advisory Committee.

60 The Role of the Advisory Committee Advisory Committees are established to assist in planning, implementing and evaluating each of its career and technical education programs. A single Advisory Committee is established to serve the needs of a specific program whether it exists on one or all of the campuses. The major functions of Advisory Committees are: 1. To assist staff in determining the workforce development needs in a specific area 2. To assist the college in identifying specific learning outcomes/competencies that program graduates are expected to demonstrate 3. To assist in arranging the defined competencies into the format of an established curriculum 4. To serve as a communication link with other businesses and industries in the are by promoting the program 5. To assist, wherever feasible, in the placement of program graduates 6.

61 Recommending Advisory Committee Members Securing competent advisory members to serve on Advisory Committees is extremely important. Representatives on the Committee should be leaders in the industry with the expertise to provide guidance and direction for the program. Suggestions for nominations my come from any source, including business, industry or the community. Those responsible for recommending candidates should consider the following: 521 Adequate time: The Committee members should be able to devote sufficient time in order to contribute to the program. Representatives of the Community: The Committee members should be representative of the geographic region served by the college. Representatives of the Career & Technical Education Program The Committee members should be representatives from highly respected businesses or industries, or from the profession. The employee representative should be a skilled individual who is respected by co-workers and active in his or her profession. Representatives from Trade or Professional organizations. Scheduled Meetings Advisory Committee meetings are scheduled by the Faculty Chairs/Facilitators. When scheduling meetings, it is important to select times when the maximum number of committee members will be able to attend. The college representative prepares the agenda topics for committee meeting and the Career Services department mails out the invitations. The agenda should reflect the concerns of the Committee. Items on the agenda should provide an opportunity for members to fully discuss each issue in the context of the complexity of the program. The agenda should be mail/ ed to each member at least three weeks in advance of allow an opportunity for the member to gather information and be prepared to discuss the items on the agenda knowledgably. Planning for the Meeting Committee discussions should not focus on the agenda, and every attempt should be made to involve the members. It is important to encourage members to actively give information and advice to the program. It is helpful if each member of the Committee is provided with a current roster of the committee membership. Time should be allowed for open, free discussion on the strengths and weaknesses of the program. Discussions may include relevancy of the courses/programs, performance of graduates, changes in the workforce, emerging trends, review of the college catalog, articulation efforts, brochures and recruiting materials, etc. Articulation of Programs Programs that have articulation agreements at one or more institutions must invite representatives from other colleges, high schools and ROC/P s to the Advisory meetings or combine the advisory meetings to maintain program relevance and continuity.

62 Stillman School of Business Seton Hall University Advisory Boards As a way to enhance the learning opportunities and career discernment of our students, the Stillman School has several advisory boards that are nested in its disciplines and unique initiatives. Typically, boards meet four to six times per year, with small subcommittee meetings occurring between full board meetings. Generally, besides ensuring that the curriculum or offering is the best it can be, advisory board members also serve as resources to help our students experience small learning opportunities (field trips to corporate offices, the chance to network with professionals, etc.), and the ability to compete for internships (both for-credit as well as forpay), part time positions and full time positions. Boards are run by a chair; board members can be both alumni and friends of the School. 1. The Center for Securities Trading and Analysis: The function of this board is to provide insights into all aspects of preparing our students for careers in the finance industry. The School just opened its Trading Room--you might have seen us ringing The Closing Bell at the New York Stock Exchange or Governor Codey officiating at our Ribbon Cutting Ceremony! The School has also received significant financial support from alumni and friends, including a sizable grant from the NYSE. What is needed is the continuation of forming alliances with organizations in the industry that can provide a full array of learning opportunities to our students, including networking, internships, field trips to employers, part-time jobs and full time employment. 2. The Center for Entrepreneurial Studies: The function of this board is to provide curriculum and mentorship support for students who seek to develop their own businesses. The best research on entrepreneurial development advises schools to form apprenticeship opportunities for students, where they can learn from entrepreneurs, those who finance them, their accountants, and the like. We need outside speakers to offer seminars and other forms of small group learning sessions for students, both undergraduate and graduates alike. 3. The Sport Polling Institute: The School has received a very generous gift from Tom and Ruth Sharkey, to create the Sport Polling Institute. This Institute will design and implement polls about topical sport issues of the day, and present these findings in the media. These polls will provide a way to advance the University s reputation, in a domain not occupied by any other university in the nation. This advisory board will help us in our expertise in marketing research and telephone polling, and building the calling center. We are also looking for those with connections in the media, as we seek to build alliances in this area as an outlet for the polls. Of course, the polls will be that much more interesting with terrific questions, so the advisory board will help us target the great questions of the day, which will, in turn, find their way quickly into the media. Once the Institute is established, we shall be able to sell our market telephone survey competencies to others, so expertise within the board is needed to help us develop business in this area.

63 The Center for Sport Management: The Center for Sport Management Advisory Board advises the School on all aspects of the sport management curriculum and offers networking opportunities for students who aspire to work in the industry. This Board has been in place since the late 1990s, but several of the members have concluded their term on the Board, and so there are vacancies here. The Sport Polling Institute will fall under the domain of this larger Center but that Institute requires expertise not now in place with the Sport Management Board (hence the need for that body). The Sport Management Advisory Board will address the ongoing needs of the students in this major. 5. The Institute of International Business. This advisory board will help up improve our curriculum and out-of-class experiences for our students with interests in international business. The School has already received a small endowment for this Institute and has a Director, but we can do more with alumni and friends to offer our students networking opportunities in this area. 6. The Marketing Research Focus Group Project: The School is going to build a small focus group room, to enhance our students competencies in market research. This room, which will physically be adjacent to the Sport Polling Institute, will allow our marketing majors to learn about the art and science of conducting marketing research using this methodology. I am seeking alumni and friends who have expertise in this area, to ensure that the room has the stateof-the-art functionality in it and also can be a facility that small businesses can use for their use. In this way, we can expose our students to practical techniques in the field, enhancing their competitiveness. 7. The Advisory Board for Pre-Law Students: The School is forming an advisory board for our undergraduates who are earning a minor in law. The purpose of the board is to provide advice on improving this curriculum, to help our students network with those in the profession as they investigate careers in law and to help our students get internships and especially at the frosh and sophomore level, our students would be most willing to work for course credit and not for pay. 8. The Stillman Newspaper Advisory Board: Our Trading Room initiative has inspired our students interests in reporting on business news. Beyond that, they have a strong desire to learn more about our alumni, to find out what s happening within the School, and to learn about companies in the area. As a result, the School is starting its own newspaper. Currently, the paper is envisioned to be published every other week. The paper needs its own advisory board to assist the students in making the paper the best it can be. Board members with expertise in writing or reporting the business domain are welcomed to join. Those with relationships in media (print, radio, broadcast, cable) in any aspect are encouraged to consider volunteering their time. Those who work in investor relations can also help our students develop competencies and career interests. Besides providing advice and counsel in shaping and maintaining the paper, we hope that board members can provide learning opportunities to our students in the field of business writing and reporting. These opportunities would include field trips to corporate sites and perhaps for-credit or for-pay (or both!) internships or cooperative positions.

69 529 Today s minutes will be taken by Karen Toreson, Business Technology Faculty. Faculty will take minutes, rotating by program. Election of Chair The pros and cons of having joint advisory meetings were discussed. It was moved, seconded, and passed that the three committees should merge into one Business Advisory Committee. If special questions should arise for any one program, the advisory committee members identified with the program may meet separately. Sharon Wines was elected chair of the new Business Advisory Committee. Program Updates Business Administration David Starr reported that a successful DECA conference was held in Leavenworth this fall. The students were involved in team building and problem solving exercises. Eighteen students from Shoreline attended. It was noted that the keynote speaker at the conference was also the keynote speaker for this fall s Big Event. Steve McCloskey and Laura Portolese Dias reported that the following programs will be offered online in addition to the traditional face-to-face mode: Project Management, General Business, Marketing, Social Media, Sustainable Business. One of the concerns expressed by advisory members was how the interactive discussion aspects of the classes can be maintained. Faculty reported that they use Elluminate for interactive live discussions and Tegrity for lecture capture or demonstrations. Exploratory meetings are being held to determine the feasibility of offering an MBA preparation certificate; it is anticipated that the target market might include international students. Business Technology Marcia Liaw reported that the Business Technology program prepares students for the administrative assistant or other general office jobs. The emphasis is on developing computer skills. In addition to the Certificate of Proficiency and AAAS Degree, the program offers many short-term Certificates of Completion. The program supports CEO and I-Best students. CEO (Career Education Opportunities) is designed for at-risk students from years of age. I-BEST (Integrated Basic Education Skills Training) is a unique model with an ESL instructor and a Business instructor present for all of the classes. The goal for I-BEST is to develop entry-level job skills. Accounting Carla Hogan reported that the program continues to attract a number of students in both the transfer and professional classes. Dan King and Carla invited advisory committee members to visit their online classes to see how they use Tegrity. Business Advisory Committee Minutes Page 2 Shoreline Community College November 16, 2011

70 530 This year the Accounting program is going through a program review process. Both Business Administration and Business Technology have already completed the review process which occurs every several years. A DACUM (Developing A Curriculum) is planned for later this academic year. The Accounting DACUM will need to take place during May (after tax season). Program Specifics Business Administration faculty asked for feedback on ways to update the Career Ladder Short-Term International Trade program which currently requires BUS& 101 Intro to Business, BUS240 e-business, and BUS 215 Intro to International Business. A handout listing the current offering and a suggested idea for an updated 30-credit option was distributed (a copy follows the minutes). After a brief discussion, it was recommended that a DACUM be held to determine the needs of industry and the skills/knowledge that workers in International Trade might need. Whether the DACUM can be combined with the Accounting DACUM will need to be determined. A new AAAS (Associate of Applied Arts and Science) in Business was proposed.

90 550 USFSP College of Business College of Business Council Meeting Agenda Thursday, January 16, 2014, 11 a.m., Piano Man Conference Room Members: Tom Carter, Bill Jackson, Grover Kearns (Chair), Dan Marlin, Todd Shank Members Absent: Tom Ainscough, Chris Davis Approval of November 19, 2013 Meeting Minutes: Minutes were approved without modification. Strategic Planning Measures Many of the information requests have been received and will be summarized for our next meeting. Kearns will send out reminders to those who have not responded. Marlin noted that several items were not available. These items will be collected later using a faculty survey. Marlin also noted it was essential that the measures represent the baseline year AY 2012/13. Organizational Changes At the last COB Faculty Meeting the CBC distributed scenarios (see attached). The CBC will lead a discussion on these at the 1/24 meeting. Faculty will be asked if they wish to vote on the scenarios at the next faculty meeting. Shank and Jackson stated that a discussion of how the proposed department chairs would be compensated should be part of the general discussion. Standards for Faculty Qualifications In the new 2013 guidelines AACSB has altered the faculty qualification standards from the AQ/PQ/Other to five categories: SA/PA/PA/SP/Other (see separate handout). The minimums are for schools with undergraduate degrees only and are raised for schools with MBA programs and higher for doctoral programs. The CBC should formalize the new standards for the USFSP COB. A document was distributed (attached). A few inconsistencies were noted and corrections made. The document will be distributed to faculty for a vote at the next faculty meeting. Proposed Changes to Governance Document The attached document was distributed at the last faculty meeting with an announcement that they would be voted upon at the next meeting. The items will be presented for a vote at the 1/24/14 meeting. 1

91 551 Search Committees Dean Ebrahimpour had requested that the CBC appoint search committees for Management and Economics. Those committees are appointed as follows: Economics: Rick Smith (Chair), Tom Carter, Maria Corton, Steve Danese Management: Scott Geiger (Chair), Dan Marlin, Chris Chen, Sharon Segrest, Nikki Stowell Adjournment at 12:15 PM 2

92 552 ATTACHMENT 1 USFSP College of Business (Handout to faculty for 1/24/14 meeting) CBC Recommended Scenarios for COB Organizational Change The following scenarios are proposed for faculty consideration for organizational change. This is for discussion and not for a vote until the 2014 faculty meeting. Scenario 1: Consolidate the CBC, T&P, ARAC, and Area Coordinators into a new CBC. All disciplines would be represented and each faculty member would rotate onto the committee for 1-2 years. Each CBC member would be responsible for regular CBC activities, annual reviews and scheduling. In return for this increased work-load the member would receive a course release. This would provide for greater communication with less effort, fewer overall meetings, and a greatly reduced work-load for faculty not on the CBC. Only tenured faculty could serve. Scenario 2: Create three departments with department chairs and staff. The duties of scheduling and annual reviews would be assumed by the chairs. The T&P, ARAC and Area Coordinators would be dissolved. The dean had recommended the following groups: 1. Program of Accountancy and Business Law (11 faculty including new hire) 2. Dept. 2: Management, Marketing, Entrepreneurship, Global (14 faculty) 3. Dept. 3: Finance, Information Systems, Economics (15 faculty) Discipline: MGMT MKT ENT GL POA FIN IS ECON Faculty: Scenario 3: Let the COB administration be in charge of scheduling (instead of the coordinators) and let the COB administration handle the annual reviews, while the faculty would populate an appeals panel. Scenario 4: Do nothing no change from present. 3

93 553 ATTACHMENT 2 (Handout to faculty for 1/24/14 meeting) Proposed Changes to the Governance Document 1. Change to make appointment of committees consistent with time of appointments The governance document was previously changed to have committee appointments made at the end of the spring semester. However, the language under Membership of Standing Committees, 2 nd paragraph, reads: (1) After formation of the CBC, the Chair of the CBC will ask for nominations Proposed change: During the spring semester, the Chair of the CBC will ask for nominations 2. Service Assignments for Assistant Professors Assistant professors are normally assigned to one college or campus committee. Service loads are minimized in order to allow time to conduct research towards tenure. Requests to assistant professors to accept additional service assignments places them in an awkward and possibly untenable position. To avoid such situations, under the heading Standing Committees of the College of Business Council at the end of (1) add: Assistant professors will be appointed to one committee. Any additional requests for service assignments for assistant professors must be presented to the CBC for approval. 3. Correct error Under the heading Standing Committees of the College of Business Council in (3): Change USFSP Faculty Council to USFSP Faculty Senate 4. Establishing Quorums The COB Governance Document states: Two-thirds of the CBC s voting membership constitutes a quorum. An affirmative vote by a majority (over 50%) of a CBC quorum is binding to the CBC. Committees of smaller size have difficulty achieving quorums. Extended service assignments has resulted in meeting time conflicts which can result in reduced attendance and inability to vote on issues when attendance is less than two-thirds. For example when you have a committee of 5 at least 4 members must be present to have a quorum. For this reasons, the CBC proposes changing 4

94 554 the requirement to sixty percent (60%). This will allow quorums for attendance of: 3 of 4, 3 of 5, 4 of 6, 5 of 7 etc. The governance document would be changed to read as follows: Sixty percent (60%) of the CBC s voting membership constitutes a quorum. An affirmative vote by a majority (over 50%) of a CBC quorum is binding to the CBC. 5

95 555 ATTACHMENT 3 (Handout to faculty for 1/24/14 meeting) UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH FLORIDA ST. PETERSBURG COLLEGE OF BUSINESS PARTICIPATING AND SUPPORTING FACULTY DEFINITIONS Participating Faculty Members include all full-time faculty members such as tenured and tenure-track professors, instructors and lecturers as well as visiting instructors and professors. Such individuals are considered participating since they are involved in governance, curriculum development and service activities associated with the operations of the College of Business. Supporting Faculty Members include all part-time faculty members such as adjunct instructors. These individuals are considered supporting because they are not involved in governance, curriculum development and service activities associated with the operations of the College of Business. An exception to the classifications above may be made for a specific faculty member by the Dean of the College of Business. Relevant professional experience, as documented by reports of significant experience from contract and consulting engagements, or documented evidence of serving as an employee in a professional capacity. In all cases, the relevant professional experience must be related to the faculty member s academic discipline. The relevant professional experience may be within the private sector, public sector, or non-profit sector. 6

96 556 UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH FLORIDA ST. PETERSBURG COLLEGE OF BUSINESS STANDARDS FOR FACULTY QUALIFICATIONS College of Business faculty are committed to maintaining professional competence and currency. This commitment is consistent with faculty qualification standards established by AACSB International. AACSB standards require faculty to be properly trained and to maintain currency through programs of continued scholarship, professional certification and development, consulting, and other activities associated with life-long learning. It is crucial for all faculty tenured, tenure-track, and non-tenure track -- to meet College faculty qualification standards. The table below reports the AACSB minimum percentages for each category. Since the College currently has two Masters Degree programs, the College standard should be higher than the minimum. Therefore, the College standard is for 50% or more of our faculty to be Scholarly Academics (SA), as shown in the table below. Percentages for Each Category Faculty Categories AACSB Minimum Standards College of Business Percentage Scholarly Academics (SA) 40% 50% Scholarly Academics (SA) 60% 60% Practice Academics (PA) Scholarly Practitioners (SP) Scholarly Academics (SA) Practice Academics (PA) Scholarly Practitioners (SP) Instructional Practitioners (IP) 90% 90% 7

At present, there are 50 full-time faculty members in the College of Business. An objective of the College is to ensure that all students acquire broad interdisciplinary perspective and communications and critical judgement skills. The curriculum is designed so that the student acquires knowledge in the functional areas of business including accounting, economics, finance, management, and marketing as well as the ethical, legal, and global issues of the current business environment.

185 March 6, 2012 Dear (Name): As Dean of the WSU College of Business, I value your service as a member of the National Board of Advisors. Despite the economic crisis currently affecting our state and higher education, we in the college continue to be successful in achieving our mission, thanks in part to your sound investments. There is no doubt that our unit advisory boards are strong and increasing in output and accountability. At the same time, the NBoA Executive Committee, made up of unit advisory board chairs and college leadership, is vibrant and engaged and providing a great service as the working group of the NBoA. As with any external advisory board of this magnitude, however, there are always uncertainties with respect to roles and expectations; I am writing to make those clear as we move forward. Over the past several months, I ve heard from many of you expressing ambiguity with regard to the structure of the National Board of Advisors, and your role as a member of the NBoA for the WSU College of Business. With the help of NBoA chair Bob Wolfe, I pulled together a task force charged with bringing forth the concerns of the group, and I asked them to make recommendations regarding how college leadership can contribute to building a stronger, more effective National Board of Advisors. Thanks to the work of the task force, led by NBoA Vice Chair Mark Hansen, the tactics outlined below will be implemented immediately. These principles bring clarity to the roles and responsibilities of unit advisory board members, and their membership and participation with regard to the National Board of Advisors as a whole. 1. First and foremost, it is important to convey that every member of a unit advisory board is a member of the college s National Board of Advisors. Aside from responsibilities to a unit advisory board, the minimal expectations associated with your membership on the NBoA are two-fold: to attend the fall meeting in Seattle in November; and to attend the spring meeting in Pullman in April.

186 I encourage you to continue working with your unit advisory board and academic chairs to fulfill the goals and expectations of your respective board. As a member of your unit board and the NBoA, your actions will truly impact our students, faculty and programs, helping to advance the college s four strategic priorities of developing a global understanding in our students, faculty and staff; conducting impactful world-class research; advancing professional perspectives; and fostering innovation and entrepreneurial thinking. 2. The college is creating a membership database, tracking each member s term on their respective unit board. This database will be used to determine a member s level of involvement and leadership capacity, as well as succession planning for unit boards. The database will be reviewed annually by Linda Infranco, Board Relations Manager, and academic and unit board chairs. 3. A welcome packet will be sent to all new members including: a. A letter outlining the member s roles and responsibilities on the National Board of Advisors; b. A copy of the college s Strategic Plan to familiarize members with the college s objectives (attached); c. A copy of the National Board of Advisors Principles of Operation, which outlines the board s governance, and structure and terms of each member s appointment (attached). 4. At the start of each academic year, a hard-copy letter will be sent to all members of the National Board of Advisors outlining the following: a. Confirmed dates of the college s signature events (Power Breakfast, Dean s Leadership Celebration, Business Plan Competition, etc.); b. Confirmed dates of the fall and spring NBoA meetings in Seattle and Pullman respectively; c. Expectations regarding their role on the NBoA. 5. A downloadable roster of the National Board of Advisors will be made available on the College of Business website. I feel confident that with these organizational elements and practices now clarified in writing to everyone, and assignments clearly defined, the National Board of Advisors can more readily help the college to further realize its vision of being recognized as a leading business school among our land-grant peers. Through active participation on your unit advisory board, and contributions in the form of financial investment, event participation, and networking engagements, the college s presence and reputation in the areas of research, knowledge and student success will continue to expand across the globe. As a reminder, please join us for the following activities in April on the WSU Pullman campus: The Burtenshaw Lecture will be held on Wednesday, April 18 featuring guest speaker Andrew J.C. Cherng, Founder, Chairman and Co-CEO of the Panda Restaurant Group.

187 The Spring meeting of the National Board of Advisors will be held on Friday morning, April 20. A networking event for NBoA members will take place on Thursday evening. The 10 th annual WSU Business Plan Competition will be held on Friday and Saturday, April 20 and 21. In honor of the competition s 10 th anniversary, a keynote address will be made by Dr. Samuel H. Smith, former President of Washington State University. The Department of Accounting will hold its annual Beta Alpha Psi banquet on Friday, April 27 at 7:00 p.m. Enclosed is the two-page color advertisement that appeared in the March issue of the Puget Sound Business Journal, acknowledging members of the National Board of Advisors by unit board. This public recognition is one way of the college and the NBoA saying thank you for your service. Thanks to current board chair, Bob Wolfe for graciously funding this inaugural ad placement. This is an exciting time in the WSU College of Business, and we appreciate your continued service in such an important capacity. I look forward to seeing you in April if not sooner. Best Regards, Eric R. Spangenberg, Ph.D. Dean and Maughmer Freedom Philosophy Chair Cc: Academic Chair Advisory Board Chair Enc/

212 Introduction Essential Conditions for Successful Business School Advisory Boards From its formation as a school in 1948, the Ivey Business School has always derived great advantage from the presence of committed, knowledgeable and interested business leaders on its Advisory Board. The performance of the School in pursuit of its mission is directly reflected in the strength and commitment of its Board. When the following criteria are observed, the Board is successful in its support of the School s mission, and is ultimately more satisfying to its members. Board members, along with the Dean and the senior administration of the University and Business School, should strive to fulfill their respective obligations in fulfillment of these criteria. The Dean and Board Chairman provide strong, committed leadership. Board members have a clear understanding of the Board s purpose and an enlightened and informed perspective about the institution they represent. The Board s role is well understood and respected by the School s key stakeholders: the business community, alumni, faculty, administration, students, etc. Relationships between Board members and key School administrators, faculty, and student leaders are close and collegial. The knowledge, experience, aptitudes, and skills of Board members are appropriately balanced to effectively address and support the School s strategies and plans. The composition of the Board membership reflects the strength of leadership available to the School within the important constituencies the School serves: among the alumni population and the business community. Board structures and processes for conducting business are simple and uncomplicated. Preparation and planning for Board meetings, and support of their activities, is well managed. Priorities for Board coordination and action are mapped out carefully and derived from a comprehensive strategy and plan for sustained engagement from one meeting to the next. Board Terms of Reference 2

216 Terms of membership, continued ii) Definition of membership The Ivey Advisory Board comprises the Dean and members of the business and alumni community formally appointed to the Board. The respective chairs of the Ivey Alumni Association Board of Directors and the Ivey Annual Fund Council will also be considered for membership in the Ivey Advisory Board, providing they meet the criteria listed in i) above. The President of the University of Western Ontario will serve as an exofficio, non-voting member. Other members of the Ivey Business School faculty and administration may be called upon to attend a Board meeting for the purpose of sharing information or discussing initiatives in their areas e.g., Associate Deans, Program Directors, Departmental Directors. iii) Appointment of Board members Candidates for membership to Ivey Advisory Board are selected by the Nominating and Organization Committee of the Board, and recommended to the Board Executive Committee for endorsement. The Dean, in conjunction with the Chairs of the Board and of the Nominating and Organization Committee, makes an initial approach to the prospective Board candidate, to assess interest and suitability. The formal invitation to join the Board is issued by the Board Chairman. The appointment of the Chairman of the Board follows the same process outlined above. Upon appointment of a new Chairman of the Board, the preceding Chairman will be identified as Past Chairman, and receive information and updates on the Executive Committee meetings. Prior to attending their first advisory Board meeting new members receive a thorough orientation. Generally they should be brought to campus for a tightly orchestrated, in-depth exposure to the School, its people, programs and progress. This orientation visit may also include a luncheon with the University s President, Provost and other senior institutional officials, as appropriate to gain further understanding of the School s environment. Board Terms of Reference 6

217 Terms of membership, continued iv) Appointment of Honorary members Honorary status on the Ivey Advisory Board is accorded to those members of long-standing, meritorious service to the School, upon their retirement from the Board. Through their sustained contribution of time, energy and personal involvement in School initiatives over an extended period of time, they have demonstrated an exceptional level of dedication and commitment to the School. Their continued association with the Board serves to keep them informed and available to the Board for special initiatives where their familiarity with the School may be advantageous. Promotion to honorary status is first considered by the Nominating Committee, which then presents its recommendations to the Executive Committee for acceptance. The invitation to assume honorary membership in the Board is presented to the individual by the Chairman of the Board. Those accorded Honorary status become ex-officio members of the Board, and are sent regular updates, reports, agendas, and notices of Board activities. Honorary members are invited to the bi-annual Board dinners held in conjunction with Board meetings. Honorary members may be called upon to offer their expertise and familiarity with the School by serving on standing committees of the Board or on ad-hoc committees struck for specific initiatives. v) Length of service; retirement of service Appointment to the Board is initially for a three-year term of service, which is renewable. Following two three-year terms, the Nominating Committee may ask individuals to extend their appointment to the Board on a continuing basis in light of their continued desire to serve. If a Board member has not demonstrated the commitment of time or assistance required for membership on the Board, the Nominating and Organization Committee will review and make a recommendation as to the desirability of maintaining that member s service on the Board. Appointment to the Board Chairmanship is for a three-year term of service, and may be renewed at the discretion of the Board Executive Committee pending a recommendation from the Nominating and Organization Committee. Board Terms of Reference 7

218 Organization and Structure i) Membership Overall membership of the Ivey Advisory Board should be maintained at approximately 60 members, in order to seek the advantages of members advice, influence and support within a broad cross-section of national and international business interests. The composition of the Board should strike an appropriate balance among dimensions of degree affiliation, geographic location, nature of business affiliation and sector, relation to the School s primary customer and client bases. Board composition should also seek diversity in terms of age, sex and race. The proportion of alumni representation on the Board should rest at approximately 70% of total membership. The composition of the Board should be reviewed annually by the Nominating and Organization Committee to ensure the School is obtaining the appropriate advantages from its membership, and that the Board represents the strongest possible cross-section of leadership available to the School. ii) Meetings Meetings of the Ivey Advisory Board will be held twice yearly, in rotation between London in October and Toronto in April. Board meetings are usually held over a Thursday and Friday, and involve a dinner on Thursday night with the members of the Board, senior academic leadership, and invited guests, and a meeting on Friday morning of approximately four to five hours in length. Meetings are also scheduled to coincide, where appropriate, with special events - e.g., convocation, orientation, leadership roundtables, MBA conference, etc. The agenda for Board meetings is selected by the Dean and administration of the School, and recommended to the Executive Committee in advance of the meeting. Meeting agendas usually focus on one or two issues of substance to the School s long-term strategy and planning, and updates on the progress of key initiatives. Members pay their own travel and lodging expenses to attend meetings. Board Terms of Reference 8

219 Organization and Structure, continued iii) Standing Committees In order to facilitate the direct participation of Board members in the resolution of key strategic issues facing the School, an Executive Committee of the Board has been formed together with four standing Committees: Nominating and Organization, Human Resources and Programming, Finance, and Development. The Executive Committee of the Board is made up of the Chairs of each of the Board sub-committees, the Chairman of the Board, and the Dean. The purpose of the Board Committees is to engage individual Board members more directly in the identification and resolution of issues that have the most significant impact on the accomplishment of the School s mission and strategy. Board members will be called upon to consider and counsel the Dean on internal and external factors, which might impede or assist the School s direction, and to channel their influence and actions to facilitate its strategy. They serve as a confidential sounding board for the Dean on issues of great importance or sensitivity to the achievement of the School s mission. Other Committees and/or task force groups are sometimes formed on an ad hoc basis to address specific issues. These Committees are struck by the Chairman of the Board, in consultation with the Dean, and usually meet for a circumscribed period. Further detail on the purpose and terms of reference of these Committees are described on the attached document, entitled Ivey Advisory Board Committee Organization. iv) Evaluation of Board performance The Nominating and Organization Committee has an on-going responsibility to evaluate the Board s performance in executing its mandate and responsibilities. On an annual basis, the Nominating Committee will survey members as to their satisfaction with Board agendas and activities, and self-evaluate their performance as Board members.

222 Appendices Governance structure for Ivey Business School The Advisory Board acts as a body of advice, influence and advocacy for the Ivey Business School. The Board has no formal responsibility for governance. That responsibility lies with the President and Vice Chancellor of the University of Western Ontario and the Board of Governors of the University. Ivey s not-forprofit corporate entities, including Ivey Management Services, are governed by a Board of Directors who is accountable to the UWO Board of Governors. The UWO Board of Governors formally ratifies appointment to the Ivey Advisory Board. Major initiatives at the School, such as new programs or the appointment of a new Dean, are taken to the Board of Governors for approval, and then brought before the University Senate for ratification. The Dean officially reports to the Provost of the University. Governance of the School is effectively managed by the Dean, working in conjunction with the Provost and President, and with the support of the UWO Board of Governors. Ivey s financial assets (including both endowments and non-endowed reserves) are held by the University in two separately managed groups of funds: those of The University of Western Ontario and those of Foundation Western. The Business School has a distinct set of assets within these funds, which are designated for the use of the School exclusively. Gifts to the School are generally deposited within the UWO funds. Both Foundation Western and UWO holdings are managed by their respective Investment Committees. These Committees supervise the appointment and performance of fund managers (eg. a fund manager for a portfolio of US equities). While the School s assets are held as a distinct set of funds within the ledgers of Foundation Western and UWO, they are invested together with other University assets and managed jointly.
