Governance
The UConn Foundation is governed by a volunteer board of elected directors drawn from corporations and community organizations, and ex-officio members from the University administration, faculty and student body. The faculty and student directors serve as advocates among their peers for the Foundation and its work on behalf of the University. The Foundation president is the chief executive officer of the Foundation, and day-to-day operations are administered by the vice president of finance and controls and the vice president for development.
