General issues that were covered included the State of MSU-CIBER 2006, the recent grant competition which resulted in MSU-CIBER being ranked #1 among a competition of the nation's leading business schools, and strategic planning to achieve the greatest impact and reach to our constituency groups (i.e., business executives, public policy makers, scholars, and students). The specific agenda included presentations by Tomas Hult, Director of MSU-CIBER (on the State of MSU-CIBER 2006); Chris Holman, Michigan's Small Business Advocate (on MSU-CIBER's external role in the Michigan business environment), and A.J.
