Board of Trustees
Board members can be active in any profession and need not be previous DAAD scholarship recipients. They serve for a period of three years and may be re-elected for a second term. The DAAD Alumni Association USA is looking for a diversity of backgrounds, interests, and geographic locations, as well as intergenerational members. To nominate yourself or someone else, please contact board@Daad-Alumni-USA.org.
