The Board shall define the mission of the Virginia Military Institute, as a public institution of higher education in the Commonwealth, and oversee the development, revision and implementation of a strategic plan for the accomplishment of that mission.
Term
Four years; no more than two full successive terms, except the ex officio member
Composition
The Board shall consist of seventeen members, of whom sixteen shall be appointed by the Governor and one shall be the Adjutant General, who shall serve ex officio. Of the sixteen members appointed by the Governor, twelve shall be alumni of the Institute, of whom eight shall be residents of the Commonwealth and four shall be nonresidents, and four shall be non-alumni residents of the Commonwealth. The alumni association of the Institute may submit to the Governor a list of not more than three nominees for each vacancy on the board, whether the vacancy occurs by expiration of a term or otherwise. The Governor may appoint a member from the list of nominees.
Vacant Seats
The seat descriptions indicate if there is a specific requirement for that seat (a profession, consumer, someone who lives in a certain congressional district, etc.). If there is only a number listed (Seat 7), there is no specific criteria for that seat. A “citizen” seat requires someone who is not affiliated with that profession. If you're interested in any of these seats, submit an application.
