In order to further the Center for Success mission, local advisory committee members generously volunteer their time, funds, ideas, and expertise to the organization. Specifically, members work to raise the profile and reach of the organization by engaging other corporate leaders and/or major donors to support the organization’s work. The local advisory committee is comprised of between four and fifteen members and includes a Chair, Co- Chair, and Secretary. The local advisory committee is an advisory entity, while the National Board of Directors holds legal responsibility for fiduciary oversight.
