Board of Directors

Fifteen volunteers comprise the 2024 - 2025 Board of Directors. The Association Board of Directors (Board) is the policy-making body of the University of Wisconsin (UW) Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps (NROTC) Alumni Association and is responsible for the presentation and adoption of the annual budget, managing legal activities, maintaining accurate records of its proceedings, and ensuring compliance with state statues. Our stories are all a bit different, but we are focused on supporting the Badger Battalion, connecting our alumni, and building the heritage of Naval Service. Directors are elected by our membership and serve a three-year term. The UW NROTC Unit Commanding Officer, Executive Officer, and one midshipman support the Board in a Unit Liaison role. Unit Liaison Officers have an advisory role and do not vote on Association issues.


Per our Bylaws, the Board shall consist of at least eight (8) Directors, but no more than fifteen (15) Directors. Emeritus Directors are not counted against the maximum end-strength of fifteen Directors seated on the Board. The President, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer constitute the Executive Committee of the Association and have the authority to conduct routine business during the interim between meetings of the Board and shall act on behalf of the Association in the general management of the Association's property, finances, and legal interests.
