Who governs the OSU Foundation?
The President and CEO of the OSU Foundation directs the organization’s operation under policies established by a 15-member Board of Trustees. Chosen for their professional expertise and support of the OSU, the Trustees occupy a fiduciary relationship with the corporation. The Trustees are elected for three-year terms and serve without compensation. They are elected among members of the Foundation’s Board of Governors, a group of alumni and friends who provide significant financial support and volunteer services on behalf of the university and Foundation. Governors are elected for six-year terms with no limit to the number of members who may serve at one time. The OSU President participates in meetings of the Board of Trustees, while other OSU administrators serve in advisory capacities for various trustee committees.
