Picture of the Board of Trustees

Board of Trustees

The Alumni Association is governed by a 45-member board of trustees. This includes nine members on the Executive Committee and 36 trustees on the board. In addition, the Board welcomes the expertise of several non-voting Trustees including leadership from the Institute, the GT Foundation, and Office of Affiliated Organizations.  Trustees are expected to attend quarterly meetings, serve actively on board initiatives and committees and further the mission of the Association.

Trustees are elected on staggered three-year terms with 12 new members selected each year. Nominations begin in January. Nominees must be Tech alumni and have a significant record of supporting the Institute. The nominating and governance committee of the board selects a slate of candidates from the nominations. Selections are made based on service to Georgia Tech and the Alumni Association, activities in communities and professions and philanthropy to Roll Call.  The Alumni Association also has an experienced and engaged network of emeriti chairs.  They are listed at the end of this page.
