The members represent a diverse segment of industries and hold a wide range of positions in their respective companies. The members of the council during the 1999 academic year are as listed at the end of this document.
Members serve multiple year terms with staggered expiration dates to ensure continuity.
The council normally meets twice a year in October and April. The council advises the department on curriculum issues and also serves as an advocate on all other matters of interest to the department. It is the desire of the department to appoint to the Industrial Advisory Council alumni and friends that are committed to serve and seeing the department attain its goals of providing excellent education to its students, become a first rate research organization, and provide efficient service to all its constituents. These constituencies include the students, parents, industry, and government agencies. The men and women appointed to serve on the Council should share this vision and understand the mission of a land grant university for which Iowa State University is one.
