A lean and committed group of no more than 36 Governors has primary responsibility for oversight of the College. Up to six appointed members (including representatives of the faculty, students, alumni and Board of Regents) have full voting privileges, but no other financial or governing responsibilities. The remaining Governors are elected, and serve revolving terms of not more than two three-year terms. Each elected Governor is required to make or generate a minimum contribution of $5,000 annually.

Between meetings of the Board of Governors, regular contact with the College administration is maintained by the Board’s Executive Committee. The Executive Committee consists of the Chairman of the Board, Vice-Chairs for Academic Affairs, Finance and Development, Chairs of the Jewish Community High School and Tuttleman Library, secretary and treasurer. Additional appointments may be made at the discretion of the Chairman of the Board. The Board of Governors meets approximately five (5) times each academic year. The Executive Committee and the Development Committee meet approximately every six weeks. Other committees meet as designated by their respective chairs, generally every 2-3 months.
