The RPIRG Board of Directors is composed of 8 Student Members of RPIRG. It is the decision-making body of RPIRG, which makes all major decisions regarding finances, long-term goals, long-term viability of the organization, staffing, and funding application approval – all using concensus-based decision making principles.
RPIRG board members meet 3-4 times during each Fall and Winter semester, sit on committees which report to the board on matters like staff relations, budgets, events, and funding, and help to run and promote RPIRG events.
Although only board members can vote on important decisions and motions, all students are welcome to attend our open board meetings or be involved in committee work. If you’re considering running in our board election, are curious about nonprofit governance, or would like to get involved in a committee to share some great ideas you have, please join us!
If you would like to present anything to the Board, please email at least 7 days in advance to info@rpirg.org. If the matter is confidential and only for Board, please contact board@rpirg.org.
