Board of Governors (BOG)

The Alumnae Association of Mills College is governed by a Board of Governors elected from candidates nominated by an independently elected nominating committee. The Board is comprised of 27 members, including three Alumnae Trustees, a faculty representative, and regional governors. Governors serve a three-year term, unless they are appointed to fill a mid-term vacancy, in which case they sit on the Board for the remainder of that term. Alumnae Trustees and the President of the Board of Governors represent alumnae on the Mills College Board of Trustees.

The Governors are responsible for the legal entity that is the AAMC; they are responsible for the interface of the organization and the community; and they are responsible for the affairs and concerns of the organization.

Elect the next Alumna Trustee: ballots must be received by May 9, 2008. Any Mills alumna or alumnus may vote in the current election for an Alumna Trustee to serve on both the Board of Governors of the Alumnae Association of Mills College (AAMC) and on the College's Board of Trustees for the 2008–2011 term. Your ballot is on the inside back cover of the winter/spring 2008 issue of the Mills Quarterly. To be counted, your completed ballot must be received by the AAMC at the address indicated on the ballot by May 9. Please call 510.430.2110 or email aamc@mills.edu if you have not received your Quarterly.
