小蓝视频 Council Mission

Purpose

Members of the 小蓝视频 Council are supporters of, ambassadors for, and advisors to the Marine Biological Laboratory. The 小蓝视频 Council engages community, business, and academic leaders who can substantively assist the Marine Biological Laboratory through a combination of financial contributions, special expertise, and relationships with important regions, industries, or markets. The 小蓝视频 provides members and their spouse or partner with specialized communications and invitations to exclusive social and educational events. 小蓝视频 Council members have access to 小蓝视频 leadership and may be asked to provide 小蓝视频 leadership with advice and assistance.

Membership Guidelines

Members demonstrate their commitment to the 小蓝视频 in the following ways:

  • Attend semi-annual 小蓝视频 Council receptions.
  • Contribute $5,000 or more each year to the Annual Fund.
  • Serve as ambassadors of the 小蓝视频 and develop new relationships for the 小蓝视频 among individuals or groups in order to expand the pool of potential supporters.
  • Provide advice to the Trustees and/or Director as requested from time to time including serving on ad-hoc committees and task forces.
