Board of Trustees

The governing body of the GTU is its Board of Trustees, responsible for the academic graduate programs offered by the GTU as an accredited institution. The Board of Trustees includes representation from the community, GTU member schools, faculty, and students. While the Council of Presidents guides the daily operation of the consortium, the Board of Trustees provides important support through oversight of cooperative activities and services. The decisions of the Board of Trustees and Council of Presidents are implemented by the President of the GTU as their Chief Executive Officer.
