Advisors do initiate, establish and maintain relationships with NSBE members, which are friendly, open, respectful and trusting. They don’t belittle, patronize, manipulate or mislead NSBE advisees. They are fully cognizant of all NSBE policies, procedures and protocols. They don’t ignore policies or encourage advisees to do so. They assist advisees in formulating objectives, strategies, goals and measures of success for their program planning. They do refer NSBE members to other resources when their own expertise is insufficient. They are not a “know it all”. They do articulate their role as an advisor and mentor early and often to their advisees. They don’t assume that everyone has the same definition or expectations of the role of the advisor. They do attend NSBE functions and make themselves available and approachable.
Advisors are a resource for Crisis Management and should recognize the problem, intervene promptly to provide calm, rational and experienced input. NSBE advisors must conduct themselves so as to be free from any conflict of interest when acting in the name of or on behalf of the Society.
