The University Board staff communicates information to each trustee in several ways:
Prior to each regularly scheduled Board meeting, you will be given opportunity to engage in a private briefing of the upcoming meeting materials. This is especially helpful for new trustees and any trustee who has in-depth questions about specific agenda items.
In addition to the communication methods listed above, you may receive direct communication via email or phone from the University president to discuss items of key importance to the University.
The Florida Poly Board of Trustees officially meets four times each calendar year. In addition, the Board holds a one-day retreat which coincides with the November Board meeting. Additional meetings of the Executive Committee (EC) or full Board may be called in between regularly scheduled meetings in order to conduct business that is of an immediate nature. These additional meetings are typically held virtually.
