ADVISORY BOARD MEMBERS
You may be asking yourself what an Advisory Board is and what they do.
An advisory board is a body that provides non-binding strategic advice to the management of a corporation, organization, or foundation. The informal nature of an advisory board gives greater flexibility in structure and management compared to the board of directors. In addition, they advise our team on how best to grow the business and the team members who make the company run.
