What is the role of the Business/Education Advisory Council?
The Business/Education Advisory Council (BEAC) is an integral part of the Ford PAS program and is intended to provide a supportive link between the school program and local businesses, community organizations, and institutions of higher education. The BEAC may provide volunteers to enrich classroom experiences, facilitate workplace and higher education learning opportunities for Ford PAS students, and help establish other valuable contacts with organizations outside the school. The BEAC may also help with program planning, budgeting, fundraising, and public relations. BEAC members include business and industry representatives, faculty and staff of colleges and universities, community leaders, Ford PAS teachers, school administrators, and students and members of their families. Additional information and resources useful in establishing and maintaining a BEAC are available in the BEAC Toolkit.
