Parents Association Board of Directors Application
The Bucknell Parents Association Board of Directors is an advisory board comprised of current parents representing various states throughout the country. The Parents Board distinguishes itself from other schools by offering five distinct signature initiatives that focus attention on topics essential to Bucknell's intention to provide students with the premier undergraduate experience in American higher education.

APPLICATION PERIOD

Applications will be accepted through January 15, 2024. The next Board term begins April 2024. We are currently accepting applications from parents with students in the Class of 2025, 2026 and 2027.

NOTIFICATION OF APPLICATION

The membership committee meets in February. Parents applying for membership will receive a response by early March.

BEFORE YOU APPLY

1. Review the Parents Board Member Expectations (see bucknell.edu/ParentsBoard). Board meetings take place on campus twice a year (each fall over Family Weekend and each spring over Admissions Day). Meetings are held all day Friday and a half day on Saturday. Members are expected to attend ALL meetings and financially support Bucknell annually.

2. Make a list of prior or current professional and/or volunteer experience. You will be asked to describe any volunteer board experience you have and the areas in which you focused your work as part of your rationale for Parents Board membership.

3. Decide who from your family will be applying. Members must be able to honor the time commitments specified in the Parents Board Member Expectations referenced above. One or both parents may apply to serve on the Board. Be sure to indicate on your application that you are applying as one or both parents.

4. Review the Parents Board strategic initiatives descriptions (see bucknell.edu/ParentsBoard). You'll be asked to choose two to three initiatives where you can be of the most service to Bucknell. Describe why you are interested in serving on a particular committee and how your prior experience will enhance the work of the committee.
