The Advisory Council serves three principal functions: (1) to act as a sounding board for ideas, proposals, reports, assessments, and initiatives related to the functioning of the Incubator as a whole; (2) to serve on subcommittees overseeing the development of program elements; and (3) to serve on Client Review Committees, along with other faculty members and external consultants.
The Advisory Council meets quarterly; committees meet on an as-needed basis in between.
