Purpose
The Employ Prince George’s CEO Advisory Council is a select group of senior executives convened by the CEO to provide strategic counsel, executive insight, and trusted advice. It serves as a confidential sounding board to strengthen leadership, expand EPG’s influence, and advance its mission.
Unlike the Governing Board (fiduciary oversight) and Workforce Development Board (policy guidance), the Council has no governing authority. Its role is strictly advisory and supports the CEO’s decision-making.
Membership
Membership is by CEO invitation and includes leaders with diverse expertise and a commitment to workforce and economic opportunity.
Meetings
The Council meets 2–3 times per year, with additional sessions as needed.

- Advise on strategy, growth, and emerging challenges
