The year also marks a major five-year campaign, the largest for UTMB to date. Comprehensive and far reaching, it was aimed at attracting the best faculty and students while pushing toward increased national and international recognition for research and patient care. As a result, By-Laws were adopted on September 10, 1988. The Development Board really began hitting its stride. Changes in bylaws were implemented to encourage member participation and build a base of support for the university.
Members now meet four times a year.
Today, Board membership has soared to 87 members who bring a wide range of expertise to the university. As we embrace the changing future of health care, the UTMB Development Board plays a vital role and remains an essential component in the success of the university. As such, the Board also plays an important part as we acknowledge and celebrate each of those successes. The Board continues to define and support UTMB throughout Texas, the nation and the globe as our voice for the program and strengths of this university.
