board of trustees
Institutional oversight committee
A board of trustees is a governing body that oversees an organization, typically a nonprofit institution like a university, hospital, museum, or foundation.
Trustees hold fiduciary responsibility—they manage assets and set policy on behalf of the institution rather than for personal gain.
She was appointed to the board of trustees last year.
The board hires executives, approves budgets, and ensures the organization fulfills its mission.
