plan of the University.

'82, principal, Lerner Enterprises, and Washington Nationals ownership group; and Cynthia Steele Vance, B.A. (MVC) '79, director of public relations, Saks Jandel, and former news anchor for WTTG-TV/FOX 5 in Washington, D.C.

Charter and alumni trustees each serve four-year terms, with a limit of three consecutive terms for charter trustees and two terms for alumni trustees. The young alumni trustee position is limited to one, four-year term.
“We welcome the input
of this strong new group of
leaders,” said GW Board of
Trustees Chairman Charles
T. Manatt, J.D. ’62. “Each
trustee plays a vital role in
the governance of the
University and the future of
the institution.”
President Stephen Joel
Trachtenberg added, “Our
new trustees join The
George Washington
University at an exciting and
challenging time in our
history. The University is
fortunate to have informed
members of the Board of
Trustees who actively
participate in helping to
shape the direction of GW
as it builds on past and
current successes as a worldclass
research and teaching
institution serving in the
nation’s capital.”
