ISB's Dean Rao is GMAC Director

The Dean of the Indian School of Business (ISB), Professor M R Rao, has been elected to the Board of Directors of the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) for a three year term, starting form July 1, 2007. The elections for this prestigious post were held on May 1, 2007. GMAC (www.gmac.com) is composed of representatives from leading business schools worldwide, and is dedicated to assessing and promoting the value of Graduate Management education. As an international not-for-profit education association, GMAC is also the provider of GMAT, the widely used assessment for Graduate Management Admissions. Amongst other key roles and responsibilities, the Board of Directors is expected to develop and implement strategic plans that leverage the Council’s core competencies and focus on service to GMAC constituents. The Board is also responsible for developing policies which ensure effective legal, ethical, and financial operations of the organisation. It must be mentioned that last year, the ISB became the first school from India to be invited to join GMAC as a Governing School – adding to the league of premier B-schools like Harvard Business School, London Business School, among others.
