How can I join GInI’s Board of Advisors?

To join GInI’s Board of Advisors, you must first meet the qualifying criteria for being on the Board and, secondly, pass a strict screening interview with GInI’s leadership.  Only those who meet the initial criteria are invited for the latter interview.

What are the qualifying criteria for being eligible to join GInI’s Board of Advisors?

The qualifying criteria for being eligible to join GInI’s Board of Advisors are the following:
