#Advisory September 7

We may earn money or products from the companies mentioned in this post.

Since late August if you live in the Southeast you have been bombarded with the latest ADVISORY on Hurricane Dorian. On September 3rd the total had reached 40.

It is not uncommon for universities or start-up companies to utilize an ADVISORY board. As a best practice the purpose of ADVISORY Boards is to assist the university or new business to succeed in carrying out its mission.

Often times ADVISORY boards have no real power. That usually falls to some statutory board of trustees or board of directors. What they do is provide expert advice or guidance to prevent trouble. It takes maturity to listen to a voice that only has influence but no authority.

We may get tired of an ADVISORY constantly telling us a storm is headed our way but it wise counsel to listen. Not only listen but make the necessary preparations and take appropriate action.
