The Advisory Committee is comprised of professionals from the public, private and non-profit sectors who are leaders in workforce development and career-technical education in Ohio. The purpose of the Committee is to provide feedback on CETE’s current programs and services, assist in strategic planning and advocate for long-term sustainability.
The Committee consists of 15 members who will serve terms lasting from one to three years. There will be two formal Committee meetings held each year as well as distance meetings that will be facilitated as needed. Communications and minutes will be the responsibility of a CETE staff member who will serve as the Committee Secretary.
At the first Advisory Committee meeting, CETE Director Robert Mahlman provided the Committee with an overview of CETE’s 48-year history at The Ohio State University, outlining the current goals of the organization and how they align with those of the College of Education and Human Ecology. The Committee reviewed CETE’s current projects, programs and services, and provided feedback on the Center’s marketing and outreach strategy. CETE Project Coordinator David Mullins served as the Committee Secretary and recorded the meeting minutes.
