Set up by the Atlantic ECONOMUSEUM® Corporation, its role is to assist management in making judicious decisions regarding services to be provided to the network. The committee also maintains good relationships between Atlantic members and the IENS. One of the members of this committee is on the Board of Directors.
The mandate of the Advisory Committee is to listen to the members, to set up lines of communication with them, to make recommendations to management and to receive and handle all requests from the Atlantic region.
The committee meets as required.
This committee decides on the admission of new members to the network.
The committee plans the setting up of ECONOMUSEUM® according to a strategy that it develops regarding the number of businesses, the regions and the themes.
