This is the official call to the 2013 Annual Meeting of Members to be held in New York, N.Y., in conjunction with Forum 2013. Please visit www.collegeboard.org/forum to view the preliminary program for the Forum, which runs from Wednesday, Oct. 23, to Friday, Oct. 25, 2013.

With the theme of “Membership. Partnership,” this year’s Forum highlights the importance of our membership in delivering our mission. Everything we do, from the programs we run to the mission of our organization is driven by our members. At our founding, 12 member institutions came together to discuss how to reduce confusion about the transition from school to college, and promote access for students from all social and economic backgrounds. Our mission of increasing access and equity has not changed since those founding colleges met in 1900. Our collective abilities to deliver change for students across the nation is still dependent on the partnership and commitment of our members — who deliver SpringBoard® and AP® curricula to students, administer tests in their schools, offer admission and financial guidance, participate in professional development, and serve on committees and advisory groups to improve our programs and services.

On Friday, Oct. 25, the Annual Meeting will provide an opportunity for member delegates to speak directly to the elected and appointed leadership of the College Board and to have an impact on the upcoming education agenda. Maghan Keita, professor of history and director of the Institute for Global Interdisciplinary Studies at Villanova University, and chair of the College Board’s Board of Trustees, will convene this regular Annual Business Meeting of the corporation.

The following pages contain the agenda materials for the Annual Business Meeting of the College Board and the meetings of the Academic, College Scholarship Service, and Guidance and Admission assemblies. In addition to the agenda materials, you will find information about the vital designation of representatives to the annual meetings. Please share the agenda materials with any colleagues who are planning to attend the meetings.

Sincerely,

Dorothy Sexton Vice President of Governance and Secretary of the Corporation
