TRUSTEES OF THE UNIVERSITY


Emory University’s Board of Trustees has been in existence since 1915. Until 1918, when a full board of 30 members was elected by the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, the petitioning incorporators served as an interim Board of Trustees. By custom, several positions on the board are filled by active bishops of the United Methodist Church.

Board composition includes up to 45 active trustee positions. Each serves a six-year initial term; four-year renewable terms may follow.
