Member Council
The HTI consortium governing body is the Member Council (MC) which is comprised of presidents and deans from member schools. These visionary leaders are committed to a collaborative enterprise whereby they leverage and unite institutional resources to increase the presence of Latine faculty and students in the larger landscape of education. They meet at the American Academy of Religion (AAR) and Society of Biblical Literature (SBL) annual meeting to review and approve recommendations from the consortium Steering Committee. HTI acknowledges the dedication, wisdom, and service of the 2017-18 MC members toward increasing and advancing opportunities for Latine PhD students and faculty in theological and religious education.
