Board of Directors

A fifteen-member Board of Directors serves as the chief policy-making body of the Education Partnership.  Members represent each of the five major groups involved in the Partnership with 5 at-large positions.  The Board of Directors generally meets every month throughout the year, except for July.

Additional advice and counsel are provided by individual partner Councils that allow for more input on policy and organizational matters.  A Student Services Transition Team, comprised of high school and college and university staff, serves to provide input on operational issues.  Two representatives from the Transition Team also serve as ex officio Board members.
