Cornell University Council
Administrative Board 2006 - 2007
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 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.
