About the oikos Advisors Retreat

The oikos Advisors Retreat is an annual two day event that brings together oikos Advisors from across all oikos chapters to

• jointly define the vision for oikos moving forward as well as the roles of advisors within this development
• reflect and exchange experience and cross-fertilize ideas that further strengthen the Advisory Councils as the backbone of the Local Chapters
• create a network of like-minded supporters of oikos from academia, business and civil society.

oikos Advisory Councils do not only provide support to active oikos members in the form of feedback, sustainability competence, access to social networks and managerial know-how. Advisors also turn into motivating role models, bearing the organizational memory that is so crucial in sustaining oikos Local Chapters.

In that context, oikos places further emphasis on moving forward the important roles of the Advisors and supports Local Chapters in building up Advisory Councils that help them increase impact.

The oikos Advisor Retreat is designed to further leverage the great potential oikos Advisors offer to the organisation and to ensure that their time and commitment leads to a maximum impact within oikos.

The first oikos Advisors Retreat took place in Switzerland on 07.-08. March 2008.
