The NCAA Board of Governors is the highest governing body in the NCAA. Bringing together presidents and chancellors from each division, former student-athletes, along with select leaders from inside and outside the NCAA membership, the board is responsible for leading the NCAA and presiding over issues that affect the entire NCAA membership.

There are six members from the NCAA Board of Governors that make up the Executive Committee.  The composition includes four voting members (chair and vice-chair of the Board of Governors, a voting member from the division not represented by the chair and vice chair, and an independent member) and two ex-officio, nonvoting members (chair of the Board of Governors Finance and Audit Committee and the NCAA president). The purpose of the Board of Governors Executive Committee is to promote and maintain a more effective and efficient governance process.

The Board of Governors consists of nine voting members and seven ex officio nonvoting members.
