The Clayton Yeutter Institute of International Trade and Finance today announced thirteen inaugural members of the institute’s advisory council. The council members’ collective expertise spans the areas of trade policy and law, commodities markets, global business operations, trade and development, and advanced trade and finance education.
“The breadth of these advisory council members’ achievements in trade and finance complements the Yeutter Institute’s interdisciplinary mission,” Yeutter Institute director Jill O’Donnell said. “This is an outstanding group of individuals, and their enthusiasm for serving on the Yeutter Institute Advisory Council is a testament to Clayton’s legacy and to the importance they place on trade and finance education. The institute will benefit enormously from the contributions of every member.”
The advisory council members will provide strategic counsel to the director on the institute’s formation and programming.
