Board

Trustees and Directors of the Foundation are selected for their distinguished achievements in business, industry, and the professions and for their commitment to the advancement of the university. While many are from Western New York, an increasing number of trustees and directors reside in other areas of the country.

Trustees and directors provide advice and counsel to the university on a broad range of issues and help interpret the needs of the university to the larger political and business communities. In addition the trustees and directors appoint the officers of the foundation, establish the foundation's operating and investment policies, and approve all budgets and major expenditures of the foundation.
