As a result of our vast collective business and client experiences, we at the Summit Group began to realize a growing trend in business management. In many instances, companies either had no board at all or had a current board comprised of family, friends, or business associates that lacked the knowledge and expertise to tackle key challenges of the business.

Using our collective expertise, the Summit Advisory Board was formed. Our goal is to help small- to medium-sized businesses by providing a support network of executives, many former board members and entrepreneurs, to help businesses deal with the wide array of management challenges.

Searching for a board of advisors can be difficult, time consuming, and confusing. And a single board member typically brings only their knowledge to the company. A support network rarely exists.

Having an outside board of advisors can help you in the following ways:

• Streamline and simplify board selection process
  
  
• Gain access to a panel of executives who have experience with the specific problems that the business is confronting
  
  
• Assistance in staying on track on important strategic initiatives
  
  
• The depth in experience goes beyond the selected members
  
  
• An ability to bring additional resources to focus on the issue
  
  
• Objective perspective and input to your decision making process
  
  
• Catalyst for change
