Board of Directors
"Lee University is led by an independent Board of Directors, who meet five times every two years with the president to conduct university business. This board serves to appoint and supervise the president, provide guidance and vision for future development of Lee’s programs and facilities, approve the appointment of all faculty and administrative personnel, and ratify official actions concerning ongoing operations at Lee University, including an annual budget. Board members include individuals who are active in business, professional life, and church ministry. Most of the members are Lee alumni; all are appointed for two-year terms. Board meetings usually include a non-voting representative of the sponsoring denomination. Meetings are called and moderated by the board chairperson, who along with other officers is elected by the board biennially." [Lee University website]
In 1926 a Board of Education was instituted by the denomination and members of that Board selected the Superintendent for the Bible Training School. This process continued through 1935. In 1936 the process returned to the president being a position elected by the Church of God General Assembly. There was a slight change, however, in that the Superintendent was nominated by the General Council and then presented for elected by the General Assembly, which still convened annually in those days.
With the structural changes when the Junior College began in the fall of 1941, the earlier Board of Education became the Board of Directors, whose role includes selecting the President. This has continued as the process since 1942.
