Board Committees
Meeting Schedule
Policies

The Board is the sole governing body of the USCA, and all members are welcome to attend, speak, and make motions at each of its meetings. Each house has at least one Board Representative, and some of the larger houses and apartments have a representative per 65 members they represent, and so may have more than one representative. The Board meets once every three weeks for several hours; on the first off-week, the Board Members meet in committee-based work groups; and in the second off-week the individual Board Members work with their committees.

The Board works as a representational democracy in which the houses elect Board Representatives; the Board Representatives elect the Executives; the Executives chair committees of the Board; the Board votes on proposals from the committees affecting USCA continuing policy, and sets the annual budget for the Co-op. Executive positions that serve on the Board of Directors are the President, the Vice President of Financial Affairs (VPFA), the Vice President of Internal Affairs (VPIA), the Vice President of Member Services & Member Education (VPMM), the Vice President of External Affairs (VPEA), and the Vice President of Safety and Maintenance (VPSM). The Social Managers' Underfunded Collective Chair (SMUC), and two to three Cabinet at Large members attend the Board as necessary.
