The CISM Advisory Council is a fresh set of eyes to come in and look at what we’re doing and to make suggestions of how we can be doing it better. • Do CISM’s objectives make sense? • Are we trying to do too much, or should we be doing more? If so what? • Are we using our resources effectively and efficiently in order to achieve those objectives? • Do we have the balance of our program right? 2003 Site Visit 29/30 May, 2003
