Board membership offers opportunities for networking and professional development, and board members frequently communicate with senior leadership on campus. Board members will have the opportunity to focus on their own career trajectory and get involved with the UCLA community.
Members take office in July, serve two-year terms, and represent voting members of the Board. The minimum time commitment required is one 90-minute board meeting per month. Committee work and event involvement may require additional time but are flexible.
