Duties of Advisors
The role of an advisor is not concrete. It is a relationship that needs constant attention, assessment and a certain level of flexibility for all individuals involved.
Some organizations may have very specific needs from an advisor, such as specific expertise in a given knowledge area (i.e., academic organizations), oversight on risk management (i.e., sport clubs), or guidance with individual and organizational leadership.
A few general responsibilities may include meeting with officers, assisting in event planning or budget development.
