Board Representatives

WHAT WE DO:

Cloyne has two Board Reps. Their central-level duties are to attend and actively participate in all Board meetings and all meetings of the committee each of them serves on. Board oversees and executes high-level decision-making for the BSC!

At the unit-level, Board Reps are supposed to engage with their housemates about Board matters, including member education, opportunities to get involved, sharing and enabling access to minutes, announcing important discussions and decisions in advance, and speaking with members about these items to represent your thoughts to Board. Let your Board Reps know if you want to see something that you’re not getting!

COME TO US IF:

  • You have any questions regarding Board-level policies, projects or people
  • You have a stellar idea for how to improve the BSC
