Composition
Of the twenty-three current members, two are traditionally described as trustees ex officio, eight as alumni trustees, and thirteen as charter trustees. The Charter mandates that the Governor of New Hampshire always be a trustee ex officio, and the Board traditionally makes the current President of Dartmouth College a member in a similar capacity. Both trustees ex officio may participate fully in Board affairs, although most Governors do not. All but the trustees ex officio are elected by majority vote of the Board, as the Charter requires. Of these elected trustees, eight are nominated by alumni of the College and thirteen are nominated by a committee within the Board.
