When Glamour set out to name the magazine's 12 Women of the Year for 2009, there was one woman who made the editors' difficult job just a little easier: Michelle Obama. She is the first first lady to appear on Glamour's cover in its 70-year history, and she is out front not because of her instantaneous rise as an American style icon, but for the remarkable way she is making mentoring young women a priority at the White House.

If your business is a corporation, then you are probably familiar with assembling and managing a board of directors (a topic we can cover in the future, however, if you’d like). But do you have a board of advisors?
What exactly is a board of advisors?
A board of advisors is not as formal and controlled as a board of directors.
