>The AB currently numbers over 30 individuals of many walks of life -- there

>It should be understood that Advisory Board members have no minimum work

>brief bios to be placed on the CERJ web site, and their names alone to be
>placed on stationery or in brochures, with the understanding that their
>support of CERJ will be cited and held up as an example, particularly when
>CERJ is soliciting support from others. Board members supply their own
>bios, which are usually lightly edited (for format, for style, and
>occasionally for conciseness).
>
>The CERJ Advisory Board email mailing list is maintained separate from the
>general worldwide list, and it is not required that Advisory Board members
>subscribe to the more active general list, though this is advisable.

>The position of Chair of the CERJ Advisory Board is currently vacant. The
