Business Advisory Council

The Business Advisory Council was formed to give the College of Business and Economic Development contacts in the professional business community to garner their insights, seek their support, and solicit their feedback. Members were recruited that have a connection to Arkansas Tech either as an alumnus, share the same community, or an employer of Tech College of Business and Economic Development graduates. The group meets twice a year to listen to College updates and to offer the Dean feedback and ideas that would move the College forward.
