Alumni Association Board of Directors

The Board of Directors guides the business and affairs of the Association, in partnership with the Association Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and their staff, operating within the larger framework of stated MIT Policies put forth by the Institute. The CEO works in partnership with the Board of Directors to set the vision and strategy of the Association. 

MIT Corporation and Corporation Visiting Committees

As the Institute’s Board of Trustees, the Corporation and its standing committees have responsibility for reviewing and providing guidance on strategic directions, approving annual budgets, exercising long-term fiduciary responsibility, approving the establishment of new degree programs or courses of study, approving degrees, electing the President (as well as the other Corporation officers), and being available (individually as well as collectively) to advise the President on issues that they may wish to raise with them.

Visiting Committees have had a strong influence on the course of education and research at the Institute for over 120 years. The committees operate as advisory groups to the Corporation and the administration, offering appraisal, advice, and insight on each academic program and on other major activities at the Institute.

 

Alumni Volunteer Boards and Committees

The Association's goal is to match alumni skills, interests, and expertise with the objectives and needs of each board or committee. The Association strives to ensure that each board or committee is representative of the general alumni body in age, gender, degree type, school, ethnicity, geographic distribution, and range of MIT involvement.
