OLLI LEADERSHIP
OLLI at Duke is one of the programs under the auspices of Duke’s Department of Continuing Studies and operating within the limits of Duke policies. OLLI is unique within Continuing Studies because it is a membership organization with its own Board of Advisors, bylaws, and committees. The organization is managed by an executive director and an assistant to the director, who are employees of Continuing Studies.
The board consists of the President and President-Elect, who serve one-year terms, six at-large members, and committee chairpersons appointed by the president. The Past President and the executive director are ex-officio members of the board. All members are welcome to attend board meetings that occur ten times a year. Call the office at 919-684-2703 for the current schedule.
We are always looking for new people to help with events and committees and see these volunteer opportunities as the perfect way to enjoy the full benefit of the OLLI community. If you would like to know more about joining the board or serving on one of our committees, or if you have ideas for a new activity or improvements to an existing program, please contact Catherine Frank at 919-684-2703 to discuss opportunities.
