investment portfolio handled by professional money managing firms and
monitored by the organization's standing Investment Committee. The Foundation receives private gifts for the University in accordance with it's agreement with ETSU.
Organizational bylaws outline a full membership of up to 500. The leadership of the Foundation
is made up of an Executive
Committee and a 30 member Board of Directors which meets annually.
Foundation Board members serve on four active
standing committees which carry out the business of the organization.
Daily management of the corporation is carried out by the President of the ETSU Foundation with the advice and concent of the organization's Executive Committe. This
committee meets quarterly or upon call when neccessary to conduct the affairs of the
Foundation and makes a report to the board and full membership at the annual
