Executive MBA Advisory Board

Executive MBA Board

The Executive MBA Advisory Board is comprised of a number of senior alumni, business leaders and major client organizations that have a strong personal or strategic interest in the success of our programs and their contribution to the South Florida business community.  The 20-25 member board plays a strategic role in the direction of the program as well as in formulating the curricula, assisting in the marketing and promotion of the program, and in mentoring graduate students.  As part of our general policy to create such advisory boards for all of our key programs, we aim to form solid partnerships among the business community, the Chapman School and the University that increase the benefits we bring to all parties.
