Mission & Vision for the Board

 
The Center has assembled an impressive advisory board with over 50 professionals from the investment and wealth management communities who provide integral advice, direction and financial support for the Center’s activities. With their guidance and efforts we have developed and delivered an array of activities including:

 

  • Investment management and the wealth management career paths in the MBA program,
  • Financial literacy programming for underserved and economically disadvantaged youth,
  • Community programs offered both for the general public and for industry professionals,
  • Fellowship support for which we are exptremely grateful,
  • Topical and best praactice publications and case studies,
  • Programming for women and ulta-high net worth families, and
  • Activities planned for the next phase of the development of the Center

 

The overall purpose of the Board is to provide input and advice to faculty leaders of the Center with the goal of connecting the Wealth management community and the academic community. The synergies and research produced will then be used to  better serve students, professionals, and the community at large with relation to the important topics related to wealth management.  The Center has received an excellent financial and volunteer response from the professional community. Charter Member companies and individuals have pledged over $2.5 million to help launch the Center’s activities.
