Board of Directors

Number & Composition

The Minnesota Daily is governed by a volunteer board of 12 directors. Eight directors are non-students appointed by the Board at the recommendation of the Chief Student Officers. The remaining four directors are the two chief student officers, the editor-in-chief, the marketing and engagement officer, and two at-large student directors who do not work internally at the Daily. 

The Board also includes non-voting, ex-officio members whose services are essential to the Daily’s operation and student support. This includes, but is not limited to, the Executive Director, UMN Office of Student Affairs liaison and a financial/accounting consultant to the Daily’s operations, as the Board deems appropriate. These Board members will attend meetings, be provided with all materials and be entitled to all protections afforded to all board members.
