Regional Advisory Board

World Learning STAR Network's Regional Advisory Board (RAB) guides STAR Network's regional and country-specific programs that support practical collaboration among women leaders.

The RAB is composed of women representatives of economic, political, NGO and media sectors from each locale: Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia.



	Dr. Fuada Stankovic (standing), rector of Novi Sad University, Yugoslavia, and founder of Vojvodina Initiative for Women's Self-Employment, plays a leadership role in STAR Network's Regional Advisory Board.

Meeting quarterly, the Board participates in the leadership, planning, design and evaluation of STAR Network activities, including regional expertise exchanges, technical assistance and training in political skill-building, enterprise development, media and public policy advocacy. The Board also guides STAR Network country staff in developing and implementing country-specific programs.

The Board has inspired important new initiatives for women such as legislation to support women's entrepreneurship in Croatia; increased participation by women in regional multi-lateral micro-finance structures and training centers; and the training of Macedonian women's NGOs in multi-ethnic alliance building. The Board also initiated and designed the STAR Network Regional Conference in Porec, Croatia, June 29-July 2, 2000, for sixty women from the region. This groundbreaking conference led to adoption of the Porec Platform of Action.
