Dear Campus Community:

With the University’s transition to independent governance last month, one of the first actions of our Board of Trustees (BOT) was to adopt a working committee structure. The committees will enable the Board to work efficiently and effectively, taking advantage of our trustees’ talents and extensive experiences as they help us move the University forward into a new era. As I have mentioned, the Board will empower the University to address challenges swiftly while positioning us to benefit from emerging opportunities.

The Board of Trustees will have three standing committees. The following table lists the names of trustees who are members of each committee and provides a brief overview of each committee’s chartered purpose.



Representatives of the University will work on the Board committees, providing information and assisting the trustees. Additionally, ad hoc/temporary task or objective-specific committees will be formed under Board auspices, as needed, and will include additional representatives from the University community.

Committees will meet prior to each full board meeting. The next Board meeting and the first committee meetings will be held on Tuesday, June 6, 2017. The committees will meet that morning followed by the full board meeting that afternoon.

Information on each trustee is accessible at http://www.memphis.edu/bot/board/. The Board of Trustees website is located at http://www.memphis.edu/bot/.

If you have any comments or questions, please email the Office of Board Relations at trustees@memphis.edu.

Guess I didn't make the cut.
