The Shuford Program in Entrepreneurship Advisory Board is an active group of volunteers, assisting the Executive Director and Shuford team in a range of activities that help advance the Program, including advocacy, counsel, and philanthropy. Board members serve as ambassadors, informing their communities and circles of influence about what is going on in the Program and, in turn, keep the Program’s leadership informed on what they are hearing about Carolina and the Program in their networks.
Board members represent a select group of civic, business, and philanthropic leaders with an entrepreneurial journey. They are dedicated to advancing the mission of the Shuford Program and increasing philanthropic support. The Board consists of alumni and friends who represent the community with a focus on building awareness, meeting campus needs, and attracting resources.
