The Executive Committee administers the daily business of the Association. It meets monthly by telephone and communicates almost daily by email.

The members of the Executive Committee are the four elected officers of the Association and several at-large members, including past presidents of the Association who wish to remain involved (currently two of the most recent three), the President Elect if applicable, and one or two advisers chosen by the current president.

The President is the chief executive of the Association. He exercises all powers granted to him by New Hampshire law, which is expressly incorporated by the Association's bylaws. Among his other responsibilities, he liaises with Zeta Psi Fraternity of North America, the international organization.
The Vice President's role is re-defined annually in consultation with the President. Currently the Vice President oversees facilities and financial planning.
The Treasurer maintains the Association's books, records all donations, collects any other revenues when applicable, and pays the Association's bills.
The Secretary maintains a list of the Association's 1200 living alumni and their current addresses, and keeps the alumni informed of the Association's activities via periodic postal and electronic communications.

II. Board of Directors

The alumni of the Psi Epsilon Chapter of Zeta Psi Fraternity at Dartmouth elect the Board of Directors at annual meetings, usually in the fall. The recent expansion of the Association's activities has required the Board to expand to 25 members. As a result of this expansion, Board membership has grown from representing a handful of classes to representing every era of alumni since the advent of coeducation at Dartmouth. One of the Board's goals is to extend the Board's reach to older classes as well.

III. Standing Committees

Development Committee
Chair: Adam Goldberg '03
Mike Salzhauer '0

Education Committee
Chair: Matt Deninger '01
Frank Hatheway '79
Chuck Liggett '83
Jake Shields '99

The Education Committee is charged with developing enhanced academic support for a revitalized Zeta Psi Fraternity at Dartmouth. The Education Committee will develop a mentoring program to establish a better and more consistent relationship between the alumni and undergraduate members, will explore the possibility of establishing a scholarship program and, in consultation with the FPC, will investigate ways in which the facility could be enhanced to enrich members’ academic experience.

Technology Committee
Chair: Hunt Melville '78
Jason Gelman '00
Andrew Hill '93
Brett Kiefer '99
Peter Mancoll '97

The Technology Committee explores and implements technological means for communicating with the Association's alumni. Thus far it has developed online donation options, as well as a web-based database that will allow our alumni to keep in touch with their contemporaries. Its future plans include a full-service website with alumni news, contact information, undergraduate and alumni weblogs, and a calendar of regional events.

IV. Ad Hoc Committees

Facility Planning Committee
Chair: Sean Regan '91, Managing Director of real estate project mgmt. firm, Washington DC
Andy Bollinger '99, AIA, art and architecture professor, New York, NY
Jason Gelman '00, real estate attorney, New York, NY
Ryan Krauch '01, VP of Real Estate Investments for venture capital firm, Santa Barbara, CA
Jose Pluto '99, analyst, Goldman Sachs, Chicago, IL
Michael Salzhauer '84, Managing Partner of real estate investment company, New York, NY

The Executive Committee has asked the Facility Planning Committee ("FPC") – whose members have substantial experience in real estate construction, financing and management – to analyze the Fraternity's future space needs and projected revenues. In consultation with officials from the Town of Hanover (and hopefully the College), the FPC will develop a realistic construction (and operation) budget for either the renovation or reconstruction of the Fraternity's Chapter House at 8 Webster Avenue. The FPC then will draft a set of "concept plans" before hiring an architecture firm to draft a final design and construction drawings. As needed, the FPC will bid out any construction and recommend contractual arrangements to the Board. The FPC will recommend an appropriate maintenance reserve for the finished building.

Reinstatement Committee
Chair: Bob Levine '01
T. Weymouth '79

The Executive Committee has asked the Reinstatement Committee to assume primary responsibility for assuring the Association's and the Fraternity's compliance with the guidelines established by the College’s Office of Residential Life (“ORL”) governing coed, fraternity and sorority (“CFS”) organizations at the College. The Reinstatement Committee is in the process of familiarizing itself with the recognition requirements set forth in the CFS Handbook and Policies for purposes of preparing the documentation needed to apply for recognition as an active fraternity on campus. The Reinstatement Committee also has been asked to make recommendations to the Association on any proposed changes to the Association’s structure and operation so as to enhance the Association’s involvement with the Fraternity during the colonization and post-colonization process. The Reinstatement Committee will remain active through the colonization of a revitalized Zeta Psi Fraternity at Dartmouth, and will be asked to play a leading role in the inaugural rush.

V. Class Representatives

Beginning in 2003, the Association established a class representatives program to reconnect on a more personal level with our 1200 living alumni. The class representatives serve as intermediaries between the Association and the alumni, communicating information and updates from the Association to the alumni and relaying alumni’s questions and comments to the Association leadership. There currently are one or more class representatives for each class going back to 1978, and the Association is striving to identify additional class representatives in the older classes.
