Board of Trustees

A strong and dedicated Board of Trustees is John Cabot University's most vital guarantee of strategic success. The Board of Trustees appoints and directs the President who, in turn, manages the University. It provides vital policy leadership and oversight in critical areas as well as oversees the financial performance of the University. Its members are long-range planners who help define the philosophy of the University. They offer their knowledge and experience as well as financial support to help ensure the success of the University in its mission and commitment to education.

John Cabot University is fortunate to have an exceptionally gifted and dedicated Board of Trustees. Each individual member has contributed in significant ways to make John Cabot University the wonderful institution it is today.
