OLLI is a membership organization with an 18-person Board of Directors elected by the membership to three-year terms. One-third of the Board is elected each year. You can recognize Board members by their white name tags. Most committees are chaired by Board members. Activities at OLLI are managed by the executive director (a full-time employee), member volunteers and a small staff of part-time employees. OLLI members are encouraged to participate in the many support functions by volunteering; see the volunteer page or the Member Handbook (pdf) for more information on volunteering at OLLI.

This election occurred on Jun 9, 2009, at the new Board's first meeting. Elected officers are shown below (click image to view profile). A list of all OLLI presidents may be found here.
