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. These constituencies offer balanced representation and communication on all aspects of the council's work.

Supporting Cornell: a Resolution
The Administrative Board of the Cornell University Council recognizes that the council must take a leadership role in supporting the Cornell Annual Fund and the Cornell Now campaign, and that universal participation of our council members in the Cornell campaign is essential to fulfill the council's mission of leadership in the university community. The Administrative Board strongly encourages every council member to make an annual gift to Cornell in an amount appropriate to that member's individual circumstances, so that the council will reach its annual goal of 100% participation.
