THE ROLE OF THE COUNCIL

What Our Member Advisory Council Does

Represent

Serve as the voice of the communities you represent (e.g., NYC market, In Transition, API, Solopreneur) in Council discussions. Serve as a two-way bridge through ongoing updates in digital channels (e.g., WhatsApp, Chief app) and other forums.

Advise

Partner directly with Chief leadership across functions to provide guidance on the evolving Chief member experience – ensuring they reflect the interests, needs, and nuances of the community you represent. Elevate opportunities and ideas for speakers, workshops, ChiefX, and other programming.

Be an Ambassador

Connect and inform members, and share the Chief experience with broader networks. Nominate new members in support of the growth of the Chief community. Show up at key community activities to remain connected to member priorities and dynamics.

Model Values

Be powerful, inclusive, real, curious, and time-traveling in all Council activities.
