CiYuan Advisors

We have formed an International Advisory Board (IAB) and Chinese Advisory Board (CAB) comprised of influential Chinese and international stakeholders from the nonprofit and business communities to provide expert guidance and feedback throughout the three-year program. The kick-off meeting for both Boards was in September 2010. A follow-up meeting to evaluate midterm progress will be held in late 2011. Additional meetings will be held virtually, and as time and expertise permits, individual members may be involved in advising on specific demonstration projects.

We have invited a "brain trust" of influential Chinese and international stakeholders – our International and Chinese Advisory Board – to help us plan, guide, and monitor program progress.
