Humanities Texas Board of Directors
With the exception of six members appointed by the Governor of Texas, the twenty-six-person volunteer board is self-perpetuating and fills vacancies through an open nominations process. Nominations for 2010 board vacancies closed on October 1, 2009.
Directors are selected for knowledge of or involvement in the humanities. In electing individuals to serve, Humanities Texas strives for geographical and ethnic representation and for balance between the academic and public spheres.
From the academic sector, the board elects teachers, scholars, and educational executives. Public nominees represent a wide variety of professional backgrounds, including business, labor, agriculture, and cultural and civic organizations. Directors serve without compensation but are reimbursed for travel expenses.
Additional vacancies will become available in 2011.
