  8. Decreasing the Board

  9. States Who Responded • California • Iowa • Kansas • Minnesota • Missouri • Montana • New Hampshire • North Carolina • Oklahoma • Oregon • Pennsylvania • Texas • Utah • Vermont • West Virginia • Anonymous (1) 16 Responses out of possible 35 state Campus Compact offices responded

  10. Others who are represented on Boards • State Commissioner of Higher Education • Director of the state-wide independent colleges association • Other University Administrators • VP of Finance of host institution (serves as Board Treasurer) • Associate Vice President for Public Engagement

  11. Other SuggestionsHigher Education Representation • Proportionate Representation Based on Membership • Our bylaws also mandate that at least one president from a 4-year public, one from a 2-year public, and one from a private institution be on the board to help balance all perspectives. • Our executive board (our only board) is made up to represent our membership so it is based on a percentage of the makeup of private, public, 2 year and four year... and we added one category - graduate/professional schools. • Can for-profit institutions be part of your Compact? That's something that we're having to deal with currently so you might want to think about that if it's not clearly spelled out in your bylaws. • Higher Education Partners • I've listed as "government" the director of the state-wide independent colleges association. Both he and the state Board of Regents maintain a permanent seat on the board.

  12. Other SuggestionsNon-Higher Education Representation • Add Corporate, Foundation or Community Partner Representatives • I'd look outside of higher education. Intentionally and regularly share the progress and success stories with new stakeholders! • Having corporate members of the Board has worked well. They are very invested, enjoy the interaction with Presidents and are good with fundraising.

  13. Other SuggestionsGeneral Feedback • Expanding beyond presidents, or at least creating a board that represents those other than presidents, is a very good idea! We just haven't made that happen yet. • I guess just look at the general category of work that you hope for your board i.e. a policy or working board. • We need to rethink the diversity of the board by including the such members as noted above. Good luck.

  14. Other Ways of Engaging Diverse Voices • Advisory Boards • We are restructuring ours to be a board of 5-11 Presidents serving three-year terms. So far, folks here have resisted the idea of adding others to the board. Faculty and staff or represented on the Program Advisory Council. • We did create an Advisory Board that has some faculty, community partners, foundation representation. We also have a Student Advisory Board. But Executive Board is exclusively presidents.

  15. Requirements by Affiliation with Campus Compact • Each board/executive committee must be chaired by a president/chancellor and • Consist of a majority of member campus presidents/chancellors • Must meet at least once a year • Can include other members including public or corporate representatives

  16. Board Membership Recommendation • Presidents/Chancellors (5-7) • Chair • Chair-Elect • Past Chair • Others • Four Year Public • Four Year Private • Two Year • Other Higher Education Representation (2-3) • Chair of Indiana Campus Compact Advisory Council • Vice President/Chancellor of Academic Affairs • Vice President/Chancellor of Student Affairs • Non-Higher Education Representation (2-3) • Foundation • Government • Corporate • Other At Large ????

  17. Board Membership Recommendation • Board Size 12  ?? • Term Limits • Board members • Chair • Executive Committee • Chair, Past-Chair, Chair-Elect • Treasurer • Who Else? • Meeting Frequency ?

  18. Space and Affiliation Question

  19. Next Steps • Collect feedback from all members of the Ad Hoc Committee (December/January) • Share feedback with Executive Committee (January) • Draft new bylaws for Ad Hoc Committee to review (February) • Share updated draft with Executive Committee (February/March) • Get Approval from Board (March) • Transition to New Board Structure by July 1, 2012
