Recruiting People to Serve on Your Business Advisory Board: You work as the director of the Job Service Office in your town. You help the unemployed search for work, take required employment exams or software competency tests, write résumés and application letters, fill out applications, prepare for interviews, and practice interview skills. You’ve read about similar agencies in other states where local offices have a business advisory board made up of business people in the community. You think this is just what you need—an advisory board that informs you of trends in various industries, gives advice on skills employers are looking for, and provides general input regarding jobs in your community.
You decide that you are going to create such a board. You envision that the business advisory board will meet formally twice a year. Two or three other times a year, you may survey them to learn about employment trends in your community. You also would like board members to be available informally to provide input regarding the services you offer and how you might improve your work. You’re guessing that being a board member would require 10–15 hours per year, and you’d like for each member to agree to a two-year term.
Your first step in recruiting members is to think about the types of businesses in your community: manufacturing, industry, technology, law, medicine, finance, retail, food service, and Page 359hospitality. You’ll also need to think about why these businesses might benefit from having a member of their staff on your business advisory board.
Prepare a letter of invitation to send to the human resources directors at these businesses. Persuade them to recruit a representative from their company to serve on your board.
