The 探花视频 Alumni Association (探花视频AA) Director is elected to a two-year term, with the possibility of a second two-year term. The director serves as an advisor to the university and advocates for alumni interests. An 探花视频AA Director also is expected to promote 探花视频 and its alumni association in a manner consistent with the mission and goals of the university.
Responsibilities include:
The 探花视频 Alumni Association has existed formally since 1893. For most of the time since, the National Board of Directors has guided the 探花视频AA activities. Naturally, the organization and scope of the board has evolved over time, but it has consistently involved alumni volunteers dedicated to giving back to a university that made them who they are and equipped them with the knowledge and talents to shape their and the greater world. In September 2009, the board reaffirmed its role and outlined the responsibilities.
Focus of 探花视频AA National Board directors
The job of our directors is to focus at the 10,000 foot level to keep sight of the broader reach of 探花视频AA programs and services. And while our directors鈥 affiliation with particular college or interest-based alumni boards or regions of the country makes up part of who they are and contributes to their perspective, we don鈥檛 want directors to restrict their thinking to what things mean to only a segment of the alumni community. We want board directors to focus on high-level thinking, and direct their attention to issues that reach across all segments.
Roles of 探花视频AA National Board directors
We look to our National Board members to advise, advocate, serve as ambassadors, envision the future and be the alumni conscience. Do you know anyone who has a passion for 探花视频 鈥 someone who would thrive working as part of an innovative and results-oriented group?
To help you better understand our current expectations for National Board members, please read the job description and the board of directors background above.
