ASUW University Book Store Board of Trustees Application
The University Book Store is an independent business corporation and operates according to the provisions of a Trust Agreement adopted in 1964 by the UW Board of Regents, the ASUW Board of Directors, and the University Book Store Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees is comprised of five UW students, four faculty members, one UW administrative officer and the Chief Executive Officer of the University Book Store. Three student trustees are appointed by the ASUW. One student trustee is appointed by the GPSS. The fifth student trustee appointment is determined by either the ASUW or GPSS. The four faculty trustees and the administrative trustee are appointed by the University Book Store Board of Trustees. Upon their appointment these eleven individuals serve as trustees and shareholders of the corporation. During an annual meeting each June, the trustees elect themselves directors of the corporation. In their role as directors, they become responsible for general oversight of the business affairs of the corporation.
The Board of Directors generally meet monthly, either in person or by Zoom, from September through June. These meetings are typically held during the workday and last approximately an hour and a half. In addition to the monthly meetings, each member of the board is asked to serve on one or more board committees. Committees will meet at various times during the year depending on the business issues under consideration. A board and management retreat may also be held on a Saturday on a date to be determined. Generally, board members should expect to spend an average of three to four hours per month on Book Store issues.
Serving on the Board provides UW students with a rare opportunity to gain relevant business experience that cannot be duplicated in any classroom. University Book Store is a Washington State corporation and board members provide oversight of all aspects of Book Store operations with primary duties including the strategic direction of the Book Store; the employment, supervision, and evaluation of the Store’s Chief Executive Officer; and the approval of major capital expenditures and real estate transactions.
A few more pertinent details: board members are not compensated but receive a generous merchandise discount and must abide by confidentiality standards and conflict of interest requirements.

Please contact Nandana Jaideep, ASUW President, if you have any questions about the application itself – asuwpresp@uw.edu
