LFGSM Business Advisory Council
The Business Advisory Council (BAC) at Lake Forest Graduate School of Management typically comprises 30 members and is made up of business leaders and specialists acquainted with corporate and not-for-profit business community needs in the greater Chicago area. Members represent institutions ranging from Fortune 500 companies to small and medium size businesses.
BAC members are experienced business professionals or equivalent with a minimum of 15 years experience and are often senior level professionals, officers or owners. The diversity of the BAC reflects the constituencies we serve, including students and corporate clients. BAC members are actively engaged in the life of the School, particularly in making introductions that can benefit the school. The full BAC meets three-to-four times per year and counsels the School on pertinent business education issues. BAC subgroups regularly support the School through participation in event strategy, business-to-business activities, and other special projects.
