Structure and Governance

OLLI at BCC is governed by a Board of Directors elected by the membership at its Annual Meeting held in late May or early June of each year.  Directors serve for two-year terms and may be re-elected for an additional two-year term.  The Board elects its own officers including the President, Vice President, Treasurer and Secretary.  OLLI members are encouraged to attend Board meetings to understand how our organization is governed.  Please call the office for a listing of this year’s Board of Directors meetings.

The Board of Directors of OLLI at BCC is responsible for setting policy, approving the budget and overseeing the work of OLLI committees.  The Executive Director administers the operational component of the organization and is responsible to Berkshire Community College’s President & CEO, and to the OLLI Board of Directors.  The Executive Director is assisted in her work by the OLLI Administrative Staff.
