The Benevolent Fund is governed by 30 to 60 UAB employees representing all areas of the University including Academic Programs, University Hospital, Administrative areas, Health Services Foundation, UAB Highlands, VIVA, Callahan Eye Foundation, and the Health System. Voting members are selected to serve two year terms, renewable for no more than three terms. The council is divided into standing committees: the Agency Review Committee, the By-Laws Committee, the Campaign Committee, the Employee Emergency Assistance Committee, and the Awareness Committee. Ad hoc committees are formed as necessary to carry out the activities of the council.
