Executive Advisory Board

The role of the GCEC Executive Advisory Board is to provide strategic input and direction for the GCEC in order to carry out the organization’s mission to promote the sharing of best practices and information about university entrepreneurship programs and networking among its members.

 

The GCEC scope is intended to cover all universities, whether large or small, private or public, and regardless of how long the entrepreneurship program has been established at the university. Our Advisory Board reflects this intent and enables us to have voices from different universities contributing to the vision and ensuring GCEC remains the premier university entrepreneurship conference in the world.

 

The foremost initiative of the GCEC is an annual conference to foster the mutual pursuit of excellence among university-based entrepreneurship centers all over the world over. The GCEC Executive Advisory Board sets the direction and provides input for the annual conference, including the host site selection, the program development, and other aspects.
