2003 Site Visit 29/30 May, 2003 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?
