Referrals are an important channel for linking potential clients with the Community Consulting Group. New project referrals come from many sources, including past clients, the Dean's Advisory Council—a group of more than 35 of California's top business leaders who provide support and expert advice to the Graduate School of Management—and through UC Davis MBA students who establish relationships with local non-profits.
