Smith Finance Advisory Council

The Smith Finance Advisory Council (SFAC) was formed in October 2021 and consists of over 20 leading professionals from both the financial services industry and other important constituencies. In common, they have a desire to help the Smith School's world-class finance department to achieve greater outreach to the non-academic financial community. The SFAC serves for a three-year term, with one major in-person event each fall (with other virtual events as well).
