2026-2027 Phoenix Officers and Board of Directors

Governance

An elected Chapter Board of Directors oversees all phases of ARCS Foundation Phoenix. At monthly board meetings, the work and progress of the committees are discussed. Officers of the Phoenix Board include President, Past President or President-Elect, VP Field Trips, VP Fund Development, VP Membership, VP Public Relations, VP University Relations, Recording Secretary, Corresponding Secretary, Treasurer, and Assistant Treasurer. Committee chairs serve as directors, including Alumni Scholar Relations, Awards Dinner, Donor Relations, Endowment Fund, Historian, Hospitality, Newsletter, Parliamentarian, and Website Administration. In addition, there are several Directors at Large who serve on the Phoenix Board.

The fiscal year runs from July 1 through June 30, with the annual officer and director installation meeting each May. The year’s largest event is the Scholar Awards Dinner in April, when the scholars for the upcoming year present their work and introduce themselves to our members and guests.
