AAC&U Board of Directors
Members of AAC&U participate in the association’s governance through the board of directors. Board officers and new directors are elected at the business meeting of the membership, which is held in conjunction with the association’s annual meeting. Individuals at AAC&U member institutions may recommend member presidents, chief academic officers, deans, and faculty members for service on the board. To recommend an individual, send an e-mail message to the Office of the President.
The board of directors periodically issues official statements on issues of importance to the AAC&U community.
Current members of the AAC&U board of directors are listed below. For more information, see the board member profiles.

About Public Members
The bylaws of the association, approved in January 1995, allow for the election of up to three directors who are not affiliated with a member college or university. These "public members" of the board provide an informed perspective from outside higher education on issues the board addresses.
