Alpha Tau Omega Kappa Beta Board of Trustees
Since its founding, Kappa Beta has maintained an active Board of Trustees that offers advice and accountability to the chapter and its Executive Board. The development of the BOT was created to reduce the amount of time, energy, and involvement by the chapter advisor. The chapter needs guidance by not just one individual, but by a group of individuals. The ability to recruit volunteers and alumni who can specialize in just one area of development and not several will ultimately increase productivity. Each alumnus and volunteer will provide the necessary attention that is needed by each different facet of the Fraternity.
The purpose of the Board of Trustees is to help Kappa Beta in all areas of chapter operations. It is in place to help the chapter achieve its goals, and to hold the chapter accountable if those goals are not fulfilled. The BOT is an integral part of the chapter leadership. Our Board is typically made up of a group of alumni, friends of the chapter, parents, and faculty members. The BOT meets regularly to challenge and encourage undergraduate chapter leadership, and to help oversee the general welfare of the chapter. Currently, we meet via Conference Call on a monthly basis and at least two sit down meetings per calendar year.
The main function of the BOT is to provide mentoring and advisement to the chapter’s leadership. As a member of a BOT, each trustee oversees a given area of chapter development and mentors the chapter officer responsible for that area. In this way, alumni and volunteers can share their expertise and knowledge in a field which suits them, as well as the chapter. Areas of chapter development which typically receive attention may include scholarship, career placement, fundraising, finances, ritual, parent and alumni relations, and risk management.
Kappa Beta’s Board of Trustees includes ten (10) members including alumni, parents, and faculty members. Each trustee volunteers his/her time to advise and mentor a chapter officer and reports back to the BOT to give an update relating to that officer’s duties and responsibilities. Membership on the BOT is by application only. If you are interested in serving on the Board of Trustees please contact the Chairman for an application. Any vacancies are filled within a timely manner.
