Cornell University Council
Administrative Board 2009–2010

The council is managed by the Administrative Board, a group of elected and ex officio members. Board members are selected from university administrators, trustees, faculty, council members at large, alumni officers, and council committee chairs, and offer balanced representation and communication on all aspects of the council's work for the university.

The Administrative Board meets at least three times a year to discuss committee activities, university issues, faculty, development, and other items important to the council and to Cornell. Officers and members at large are your representatives. You should let a board member know about anything you think requires the board's attention.

Officers
Council officers are the chair, three vice chairs (or a number the Administrative Board feels is necessary), the executive director, and the director. The Administrative Board selects the chair and the vice chairs from council membership.

• Chair: Oversees the organization and affairs of the council, is an ex officio member of all committees with full voting privileges, and is responsible for keeping the administrative board and the council informed on all council matters. The chair recommends to the administrative board new ways to increase the council's usefulness to the university.
• Vice chairs: Assignments to be chosen by the chair, as needed. Attend Administrative Board meetings and assist the chair.
• Executive director: Cornell's associate vice president for Alumni Affairs and Development.
• Director: Director of the Office of the Councils, who directs the day-to-day business of the council.
