How we operate

Role and Structure of the Executive Board

The Executive Board governs CU Quants' operations, strategic direction, and organizational integrity. It is responsible for overseeing projects, events, recruitment, partnerships, and internal coordination. The board ensures all initiatives align with the club's mission of advancing applied quantitative research and developing high-caliber talent.

Board Composition

The board consists of designated roles including President, Sr. Vice President, VP of Finance, VP of Marketing, VP of Operations, and up to three additional advisors. Each role carries distinct responsibilities while collaborating across functions to maintain coherence and adaptability.

Decision-Making 

Decisions are made through structured consensus during scheduled board meetings. Proposals—whether for new projects, events, or partnerships—are evaluated based on strategic alignment, feasibility, and resource allocation. In urgent cases, executive action may be taken by core leadership with full accountability reviewed in retrospect.

Partnership Structure

CU Quants engages in external partnerships with industry firms, research institutions, and academic departments. These relationships are managed by the President and authorized collectively by the board. All partnership activity must serve educational or project-driven goals, with clear value exchange and deliverables.

Operations

The board operates with a balance of autonomy and transparency. Each director is accountable for execution within their domain while adhering to shared timelines and strategic priorities. Documentation, standardization of processes, and internal reviews are maintained to ensure continuity and scalability.
