About Our Directors
The Illini Service Dogs leadership team consists of three boards that oversee the operation of the organization. The administrative board has five members, one of which being the executive liaison that sits on the this board and is also president of the executive board. The administrative board has responsibility over the operation of the organization as a whole and votes on key decisions. The advisory board consists of individuals who provide specialized skills & services in differing fields and act as a sub-committee to the administrative board. These individuals work closely with the administrative board and provide consulting services to aid in the decision making process. The executive board is comprised of University of Illinois students who are elected every spring & oversee the day-to-day operations on campus. All board members volunteer their time outside of school and work to make sure that Illini Service Dogs is on the path to success.
