<strong>Section</strong> 3: Issues/Items for consideration by the Division.<br />
<strong>Section</strong> 4: Describe how you have incorporated diversity and inclusiveness of membership in<strong>to</strong> the planning of<br />
<strong>your</strong> unit’s goals and <strong>activities</strong>. What criteria were used <strong>to</strong> accomplish this (such <strong>as</strong> institutional type, ethnicity, new<br />
professionals, experienced professionals, role—faculty, administra<strong>to</strong>r, advisor; region, etc.)?<br />
My goal for the Advising Business Majors Commission is <strong>to</strong> create a network of collegial relationships for both faculty and professional advisors. To<br />
provide an arena for business advisors <strong>to</strong> discuss <strong>to</strong>pics of interest – unite for creative solutions <strong>to</strong> similar problems. Offer a certificate program sponsored<br />
by the Commission <strong>to</strong> recognize members for extra effort/education put forward each year <strong>to</strong>ward advising excellence for our students. Reach out <strong>to</strong> new<br />
and se<strong>as</strong>oned advisors - business advisors from both large and small – public and private – junior college thru colleges that offer PhD’s – <strong>to</strong> become<br />
involved not only the Commission – but <strong>NACADA</strong>.
