Ernest Jacquet, the managing partner at Freedom Capital Partners and chairman of International Package Shipping, participated in the advisory-board system of the Stanford Graduate School of Business (GSB) for six years. The Stanford GSB invites alumni like Ernest Jacquet to provide suggestions, recommendations, and opinions on key issues.
The Stanford GSB reaches out to its alumni for guidance on many matters. Some members of its advisory boards offer input regarding the university’s strategy and operations, while others focus on specific challenges faced by the school.
The school's Advisory Council and Stanford GSB Management Board give advice to the school's dean and senior management. These groups enable administrators to stay aware of external alumni perspectives on current efforts and can provide insight that aids the development of overall school strategy.
Two advisory boards, the Stanford GSB Trust and the Business School Fund Council, handle funding issues for the school. Ernest Jacquet served on the Stanford GSB Trust and the Business School Fund. The Stanford GSB Trust handles approximately a fifth of the school's endowment, enabling alumni to put their financial experience toward the university's continued operation. The Business School Fund Council takes an approach closer to typical nonprofit management by advising on giving campaigns.
