The Foundation is governed by a voluntary Board of Directors with additional individuals serving on Foundation Committees. Foundation Committees are organized to support the Foundation and oversee implementation of activities related to the Foundation’s purposes.
There are currently 10 members (all are alumni of MacMurray) on the Board of Directors, of which two were active members of the MacMurray College Board of Trustees when the Trustees voted to close the college. All other members had no formal connection or role with the College’s Board of Trustees at any time.
Members of the Board are elected annually by the Board with members limited to two consecutive 3-year terms. Membership is based on expertise of needs for the Board (fiscal, non-profit, marketing & communications, local presence).
