Board of Governors

Happy students having fun while communicating at university hallway.

The Board of Governors is comprised of public members representing key constituent communities served by the Hazelden Betty Ford Graduate School. These accomplished leaders provide not only expertise concerning policy development, academic effectiveness, and strategic planning, but also important opportunities for linkage to the larger higher education culture and constituency.

This is accomplished through contributions to policy development, strategic planning, and representation of the graduate school to the larger Foundation and community at large.
