The Franke Global Leadership Initiative Oversight Board is made up of faculty, staff and administrators, as well as students. Members serve a three-year term with the option to renew for 1-3 years. Faculty and staff who are interested in serving or would like to nominate someone to serve can fill out this form by April 1 for service beginning the subsequent fall term.
