The Corporate Council Program was established in the fall of 2003 in recognition of the educational benefits of integrating the management and decision-making skills of leading business executives from across the globe into the courses and presentations offered by PSSI’s Security Scholars and Regional Outreach Programs. This initiative is guided by William F. Martin, who serves as its Chairman.
The strategy underpinning the Corporate Council Program involves constructing mutually-reinforcing relationships between select multinational corporations and PSSI. Interested companies, for example, send executives to conduct informal seminars with our security scholars, mentor one or more of our students on certain business and/or public policy “case studies”, and where appropriate, assist in supporting the Institute financially. In return, the Institute provides Corporate Council members with access to some of the finest and most energetic young minds in the Czech Republic and the region as well as high-level international conferences, workshops and roundtables, as well as research projects, often relevant to various business interests. We remain persuaded that the dynamic that develops, over time, between corporate executives and our security scholars will lead to possible internships and employment opportunities that might not otherwise be available to Czech and other regional students.
