Leadership Team and Board of Trustees

Guiding Creighton

At Creighton, the President’s Organization, which includes the President’s Cabinet and President’s Council, and the Board of Trustees help the University fulfill its mission. Both groups in the President’s Organization regularly meet with the president to provide counsel and advice. The Board of Trustees is charged with ensuring Creighton is engaged in teaching, research and community service. The University’s bylaws stipulate that at least seven members of the Board are to be members of the Society of Jesus. One of the board’s primary duties is electing the president of Creighton. Ex officio voting members of the 39-member Board include the University president and the president of the National Alumni Board.
