Board of Governors

The Herbert Wertheim College of Business Board of Governors is organized to provide a framework for alumni and friends of a common interest to meet formally or informally for educational, professional and other alumni oriented purposes; to provide an advisory service to the Wertheim College and its alumni; and to stimulate continued interest in and financial support for the college at Florida State University.

The Board of Governors meets formally twice during the academic year and sponsors the college’s signature events such as the annual Herbert Wertheim College of Business Alumni Hall of Fame Gala, the Faculty & Staff Banquet featuring the Faculty Hall of Fame Awards and the annual donor appreciation event. Individual board members also work closely with the college in organizing and hosting regional alumni events.
