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

z The Advisory Board should have 35 to 40 members.

z Meetings will be led by a Chair, who is appointed by the Dean.

z 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)

z 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

z The term of members is 3 years, with the possibility of renewal.

z 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.

z 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.

z 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.

z The schedule of full Board meetings will be provided at the start of each year.

z Background reading materials, agendas, timetables and a clear focus will be provided in advance of all meetings.

z A survey will be conducted periodically to determine the best time for meetings, including preferred day of the week, time, meeting length, etc.

z 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.

(3)

F) Role of Board Chair

z A Board Chair will be appointed by the Dean.

z The Chair and Dean will develop the agenda for meetings. z The Chair will run each meeting.

z The Chair should be able to devote some time to the affairs of the School, including working with the Dean.

z The Chair will be supportive of the key priorities of the School.

z The Chair could speak to the level of involvement of particular members if required. z Committees will report into the Chair, who will keep groups on track with their

mandate.

z 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

z The term for the Chair is two years, with the possibility of renewal.

G) Advisory Board Committees

z 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 e-mail 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).

z The Dean will appoint a Chair of the Fundraising Committee. The committee’s mandate is to provide the Dean with advice designed to help the School achieve its fundraising objectives. The committee will allow meaningful participation and involvement by those individuals who have the resources, knowledge, and personal relationships to help the School.

z Additional committees will be created as needed, with a specific mandate and timeframe of existence. If a committee’s timeframe expires, its mandate will be reviewed by the Board and a new timeframe established if required. Board members will volunteer to join a committee. The intent is that Board members with different areas of expertise will be able to focus on the areas of their choice.

Article I Name and Purpose

A. The organization shall be known as the School of Business Advisory Board at Quinnipiac University.

B. The purpose of the School of Business Advisory Board (the “Advisory Board”) is to help the School of Business (the “School”), including its dean, department heads, faculty members and students, fulfill the mission of the School. In fulfilling this role, the objectives of the Advisory Board will be:

1. To provide advice and counsel to the Dean and the faculty in achieving their strategic vision to achieve academic excellence, accreditation and national prominence.

2. To serve as advocates for the School of Business with various internal and external constituent groups.

3. To be active participants in activities of the School of Business that are important to the School fulfilling its mission of teaching, service and research.

4. To otherwise assist the School in fulfilling its mission of teaching, service and research.

5. To assist the School in acquiring the financial resources and external support essential to its development to be a leading school of business.

Advisory Board Members’ roles do not extend to policy; their opinions on programs will be considered and valued. The Members are excluded from deliberations on School personnel and all other communications protected by traditions of academic freedom.

C. Typical contributions of Members of the Advisory Board will include: 1. Engaging in dialogue regarding important strategic issues.

2. Making an annual leadership gift to the School of Business Fund and helping secure financial contributions for both annual support and endowments. 3. Assisting in development of the School’s academic programs via graduate

Article II Membership

A. The Advisory Board shall be comprised of not less than nine and no more than thirty alumni and friends drawn from the senior leadership in business, government and non-profit institutions and having a strong interest in the advancement of business education at the undergraduate and graduate levels at the university. The

membership shall be diverse in terms of gender/ethnic background, alumni status, geographic location, functional specialization and size/industry of employer.

B. Membership on the Advisory Board may be extended by the Dean to those individuals who agree to support the objectives of the Board and to actively participate in Board functions. Invitations to join the Advisory Board or to be

appointed for a second three-year term will be extended by the Dean of the School of Business, after considering input, if any, of the Chair of the Advisory Board. The Advisory Board believes it would be desirable to have, at all times, one Advisory Board Member, who is also a member of the Board of Trustees of Quinnipiac

University. Such Member would serve as a liaison between the Advisory Board, the Dean and the Board of Trustees of the University. The term of such Member may be set by the Dean to align such term with the Member’s term on the University’s Board of Trustees.

C. Terms of the Advisory Board will be staggered such that approximately one third of the Board’s Membership has their term expire each June 30th. To accomplish this, there shall be three classes of Members (Class 1, Class 2 and Class 3). The initial term of Class 1 Members will expire on June 30, 2008, the initial term of Class 2 Members will expire on June 30, 2009 and the initial term of Class 3 Members will expire on June 30, 2010. Succeeding terms of Class 1, 2 and 3 members will expire in intervals of three years after the previous term. For example, terms for Class 1 Members will expire on June 30 of 2008, 2011, 2014, 2017 and so on. When initially appointed to the Advisory Board, the Dean will appoint each Member to a membership Class. In designating the Class for a new Member, the Dean shall consider the then current size of each Class with the goal of evenly distributing Members between the three term Classes. The Member will serve the remaining one, two or three years in the term of his/her initial appointment and then may be reappointed by the Dean for up to two consecutive three-year terms.

D. The Dean, with the approval of the Executive Committee, may request the

resignation of any Member of the Advisory Board including a Member who (i) has been absent from three (3) consecutive meetings of the Board, or (ii) has not

(7)

financially supported the School at the annual minimum recommended level as determined annually by the Advisory Board.

F. The Dean and Director of Development and Alumni Affairs shall serve as standing members of the School of Business Advisory Board.

alumni regarding the goals and strategic plans of the school and securing the necessary resources for their implementation.

Article IV

responsible for membership will submit a slate of candidates to the Executive Committee for review and approval for submission to the Dean. Pursuant to Article II, the Dean shall make the final decision regarding the selection of Members to serve on the Advisory Board.

(8)

C. In addition to the Executive Committee, each year the Chair of the School of Business Advisory Board, in consultation with the Dean, shall establish additional committees, task forces, project groups, etc., as deemed appropriate (for purposes of these by-laws referred to as “committees”). Members of each committee may include individuals who are not Board Members, as long as at least one member of each committee is a Board Member. A Board member on each committee will serve as the committee chair and the liaison between the committee and the Advisory Board. Membership of some committees may be comprised solely of Board Members. The number of members of each committee shall be determined by the Board Chair, in consultation with the Dean.

As of the date of these By-laws, the following Committees have been established by the Chair:

Article V Meetings

A. The Advisory Board shall meet at least twice a year in the fall and spring. Other meetings may be called by the Chair as deemed necessary. Typically the Board will meet from 7:30 a.m. – 10:00am. (Members may also be asked to participate in University or School events prior to or after the Board meeting which may be social in nature.)

B. In addition to attendance at Board meetings, each Committee established by the Board will meet at least one time annually and report to the Board regarding activities. Additional meetings may be scheduled as considered necessary by the Committee Chair. Only in rare or unusual circumstances should a Committee plan on meeting more than four times in an annual period. In such circumstances, the Committee Chair should obtain the approval of the Board Chair prior to scheduling more than four meetings in an annual period.

Composition and Service Membership

Composition

Board membership will consist of a diverse group of 12-20 members engaged in prominent positions in the private, not-for-profit, and government sectors. 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. Replacements for resignees or others not fulfilling their term will be appointed by the Chairperson in consultation with the Dean. If an Advisory Board member has not fulfilled his/her obligations in accordance with the responsibilities outlined in this document, he/she may be rotated off the Board.

Service

Meetings

Meetings will normally be held twice a year, typically once during each academic semester in Alger Hall on the Rhode Island College campus. Meetings will be announced by the Chair of the Board at least three weeks in advance, an agenda distributed prior to the meeting, and minutes recorded at the meeting. If, prior to a Board meeting, at least half the Board members have indicated that they are not available to attend, the Chair in consultation with the Dean may elect to cancel the meeting in a timely fashion and set an alternative date. Other meetings or special events may be called as deemed necessary or desirable by the Advisory Board.

Committees

The Board will normally have three standing committees: Curriculum, Student and Faculty

Development, and Funding and External Relations. The Chair may, on occasion, also appoint ad-hoc committees as needed. Each Board member will typically serve on one committee, which normally would meet twice a year outside of scheduled Board meetings, with additional communication by phone and electronic methods.

The Curriculum Committee will advise the SOM on programs and courses especially relevant to the needs of industry. This will entail the regular review of programs and courses with the goal of providing guidance and recommendations to the SOM for curriculum enhancements. Also, mechanisms for the assessment by employers of student learning should be considered. Recommendations for continuing education programs and courses may also be addressed.

The Student and Faculty Development Committee will develop recommendations and opportunities for student and faculty interaction with businesses. For student development, the committee may consider lectures and other classroom activities by Board members and others, interactions with student organizations, internship and professional training opportunities, means to mentor students, career events, information, employment opportunities, and other activities of benefit to students. For faculty development, the committee may consider means of assisting in creating opportunities for faculty members in applied research projects, consulting projects and other professional contributions, learning programs, and enhancing the integration of the classroom with business environments.

(27)

promoting the SOM’s image, networking, and funding. The committee may consider means to increase image such as attraction of speakers and participants for SOM events, networking, inclusion of students/faculty in company activities, identification of media contacts and opportunities, etc. Identifying and recommending external sources of funding include generating new income sources, leveraging existing SOM assets, providing assistance in grant application, identifying corporate training and education opportunities, identifying corporate sponsorship (scholarships, events, etc.) opportunities, etc.

Amendment of the Charter

Suggestions for changes to the Charter should be communicated to the Board Chair and the Dean, who may then bring suggestions to a Board meeting. The charter may then be amended by a majority vote of the Board.
