A Board of Directors governs CPB, sets policy, and establishes funding priorities. CPB is the only public media organization whose board members are nominated by the President of the United States and confirmed by the U.S. Senate. A full board term runs for six years, with the President nominating members for vacancies. The Board, in turn, appoints the president and the chief executive officer of CPB, who then names the other corporate officers.
