Board of Directors
The governance of Pisayian rests with the Board of Directors. Only Active and Associate Members of Pisayian may be eligible to serve as Directors. The number of Directors is determined by the Board. Diversity in representation from different campuses, batches, professions and locations is encouraged. No more than twenty percent (20%) of the Board may be representatives from any one batch. Each Director holds office for two years.
Committees
The President may form standing and special committees as may be deemed necessary for the proper functioning of Pisayian. The Board approves the formation of the standing committees at any Board meeting. The President, subject to approval of the Board, appoints the Chair of the standing and special committees, unless otherwise specified in our Bylaws. Whenever possible, each committee shall be composed of at least one Director and at least three (3) active Pisayian members. The Chairs of each of the standing and special committees prepare formal reports to be presented at the Annual Meeting of the regular members during the Alumni Convention, as well as committee updates during monthly meetings of the Board. The standing committees listed below have been formed as permanent standing committees. If you are interested in joining a committee, please email the appropriate committee below.
