About Leadership Boards Boards Counsel. Connections. Community. To accelerate our institution in the direction of positive impact and professional prosperity, we need industry leaders and dedicated alumni at the helm. Each of our boards emboldens the Batten vision in a different way, and elevates our overall visibility in the process. Foundation Advisory Board This vibrant board of industry leaders helps to strengthen the link between the School and the world our students seek to influence, as well as guide the fiduciary responsibilities for the Batten Foundation. Board members work to broaden philanthropic opportunities for the Foundation, connect the school to innovative entrepreneurs and real-world policymakers, and serve as a resource for practical engagement and talent development. The Board is composed of four committees that amplify the school’s philanthropic impact. The Executive Committee, Development Committee, Batten X, and Mentoring and Careers. Each board member serves on at least one committee.
