Chapter Advisory Board (CAB)
The Fulbright Association’s Chapter Advisory Board (CAB) was initially created in January 2014. The objective of the CAB is to implement a nationwide chapter and national office engagement strategy whereby the Fulbright Association and its chapters work together to enhance the Association’s sustainability, build the alumni community, and secure the future of the Fulbright Program.
CAB is designed to better integrate chapter initiatives and activities with the Association’s national and international mission. It will provide a platform for peer training and the sharing of best practices; and will develop partnerships among chapters in the same geographic region, fostering regional discussions and activities to strengthen the chapter network.
