Oversight Board
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 contact Gillian Glaes before March 15 for service beginning the subsequent fall term. Nominations are forwarded to the Office of the Provost as Board positions become available. A diverse representation of disciplines is an important consideration in selecting board members.
