Three new members have joined the University of Central Florida Board of Trustees following their appointments by Gov. Ron DeSantis and the State University System Board of Governors.<\/p>\n

New trustees Tiffany A. Altizer \u201990MS, Bill Christy \u201986 <\/strong>and Jeff Condello will participate in their first regular Board of Trustees meeting on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrustees Altizer, Christy and Condello are outstanding business leaders who serve our community so well,\u201d said Board of Trustees Chair Beverly Seay. \u201cOur entire board looks forward to continuing to work closely with President Cartwright to achieve our goal of becoming one of the nation\u2019s and world\u2019s leading metropolitan research universities.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new trustees replaced Alex Martins<\/strong> \u201901MBA,<\/strong> David Walsh and William Yeargin, <\/strong>who reached the end of their terms earlier this year after nearly 20 years of combined service. Walsh and Yeargin were honored at Thursday’s meeting.<\/p>\n

Martins rejoined the Board of Trustees in March after he was appointed by DeSantis. He replaced Trustee Ken Bradley, who had served on the board since 2016.<\/p>\n

Under the Florida Constitution, each state university is administered by a board of trustees consisting of 13 members.<\/p>\n

The Board of Trustees is responsible for the administration of UCF in a manner that is dedicated to and consistent with the university\u2019s mission and with the mission and purposes of the State University System. This responsibility includes cost-effective policy decisions, the implementation and maintenance of high-quality education programs, and oversight of university performance, financial management and accountability, personnel, the reporting of information and compliance with laws, rules, regulations and requirements.<\/p>\n
