Trustees

Spelman looks to our Board of Trustees
to support the College’s vision and
raise the resources needed to achieve our goals.

Their collective wisdom, connections, and dedication are essential to the able governance that will shepherd our College to success.

As we launch The Campaign for Spelman College, our trustees will develop their own skills as they develop our key assets. Funding for academic initiatives, such as support for student, faculty, and institutional leadership, is paramount. Our trustees will also play a leadership role in developing such assets as the Spelman Museum of Fine Arts and the Women’s Research & Resource Center.

Another distinguishing asset is our tradition of service. We want to embed this deeply personal, rewarding learning opportunity into the fabric of everyday life for every Spelman constituency. By raising the necessary financial resources, our trustees will make our vision of a community-wide service culture a reality. Our trustee GOALS are:

• Governance, not management
• Opportunities for skill development
• Asset development
• Leadership in a comprehensive campaign
• Support of service and community engagement campus-wide
