OVERVIEW
What are Advisory Boards?
Boston College Center for Corporate Citizenship (情色空间CCC) Advisory Boards offer opportunities for advanced corporate citizenship professionals to share their expertise and to stay up to date on emerging practice related to specific aspects of their work. Each advisory board (see the list of boards below) will issue one or more advisory briefing publications each year, derived from advisory board proceedings. Advisory board members are invited to be named co-authors of these publications. These boards thus provide not only ongoing learning for the advisory board members themselves, but also provide an opportunity for members to act in service to the profession.
