Bonner Advisory BoardBe a Leader Among Leaders!

The Bonner Advisory Board (BAB) was launched in 2009 to provide an outlet for student voice to the Bonner Foundation and for connection amongst the national Bonner network. Any Bonner student who is committed to the Bonner program and seeks a way to contribute to the national network is encouraged to apply. Approximately ten motivated and passionate student leaders are selected to serve on the BAB each year.

BONNER ADVISORY BOARD CAMPUS COMMITMENT

Since its formation in 2009, The Bonner Advisory Board (BAB) has consisted of current Bonner students committed to providing student perspective and feedback on Foundation programs and initiatives.

I support _________________________________ with full understanding that their duties as a BAB member are to participate in monthly conference calls, assist in planning and conducting Bonner Congress and the Summer Leadership Institute (SLI), and co-manage with the Foundation the execution of the Ideas to Action Project throughout the 2018-2019 academic year.

I understand, furthermore, that during a BAB member’s one year term the travel expenses to and from the national Bonner conferences are to be provided by their respective programs. Although, we highly encourage all BAB members to attend Bonner Congress and SLI, The Bonner Foundation leaves the final decision to the discretion of Program Coordinators and Directors.
