Clements Library Associates Board of Governors
Purpose
The University of Michigan Board of Regents chartered the Clements Library Associates in October 1947 “for the purpose of increasing the collections and resources of the Clements Library and of broadening the scope, services, and usefulness of the Library.”
Membership
Members represent the diversity of society at large. It is the intention of the board to seek candidates who hail from all regions of the United States, represent the Clements Library’s various constituencies, and may or may not have a degree relationship with the University of Michigan. Selection for membership is based upon demonstration of outstanding professional achievement, alignment with the Clements Library’s mission, commitment to the long-term vitality of the Clements Library, and enhancement of the board’s breadth and diversity.
Expectations
Members of the Associates’ Board of Governors should make substantive contributions to the mission of the Library in the following ways:
1. Believe in and be an active advocate for the mission and vision of the Library.
2. Contribute financially in a meaningful way.
3. Assist in Library fundraising efforts.
4. Provide personal and professional expertise for the benefit of the Library.
5. Identify and cultivate relationships to support the Library.
6. Regularly attend and actively participate in Board meetings.
7. Attend Library programs and fundraising events.
8. Avoid conflicts of interest with the Library and keep the Board apprised of any that arise. Adhere to a high standard of ethical conduct.
