Board of Trustees | Board Members

Board of Trustees Members

Board officers include a chairperson and vice chairperson, both elected by the trustees for two-year terms in odd-numbered years. A quorum requires four members, and decisions must be approved by a majority vote with proper documentation. Meetings follow Michigan’s Open Meetings Act (Act 267 of 1976).

Note: Dates under each trustee’s image indicate their first year in office and the end of their current term.
