Carter Center Board of Trustees  


Promoting Democracy, Human Rights, and Peacemaking
The Center established its board in 1994.  With President and Mrs. Carter as active members, the board decides and supports the Center's mission and manages its property and assets. Members of the board are appointed both by The Carter Center and Emory University, with the president of Emory serving as an ex officio member. Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter chaired the board and Rosalynn Carter was vice chair from 1994-2005.  Kent C. "Oz" Nelson was named chair in 2009.  Click here for Board officers >
