Mechanical Engineering Strategic Advisory Board (MESAB)
The Mechanical Engineering Strategic Advisory Board provides advice and perspective on issues of importance to the Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering. The members offer leadership for cultivation, stewardship, strategic direction, and solicitation activities that support the mission and goals of the department.
Members of the board are chosen for their leadership in providing wisdom, wealth, and work as well as commitment, compassion, and connections that lead to advocacy, financial contribution, and willingness to help establish linkages with alumni, industry, faculty, students and local, national, and international leaders who are able to advance the strategic missions of the department.
The advisory board consists of CU mechanical engineering alumni who have been friends and supporters of the department individually over the years and who are well-established leaders in their respective areas.
Membership Criteria
MESAB's goal is to have a full membership of 15 representatives. The board members are invited to serve at the discretion of the department chair and with input from the board. The term of membership is three years and is renewable.
