Foundation Leadership Council
The Foundation Leadership Council provides volunteer leadership to the Foundation and University through their philanthropy, service, skills, networking, knowledge and strategic business acumen. The Council was established to provide a platform to engage the institution’s most passionate, influential and accomplished alumni and friends. Council members are chosen as a result of their previous philanthropic involvement and interest in advancing The University of Vermont, and will be asked to attend at least one Foundation Leadership Council meeting per year, and are elected to five year terms which are renewable without limit for additional five year terms.
