The substance of the work of your Board of Directors is accomplished at the Committee level. Committees carry out tasks set forth by the Board, bring recommendations back to the Board, and report updates, suggestions, and news at each Board Meeting. The success of these committees is reliant on alumni volunteerism. We actively seek alumni participation and welcome contributions to our open committees. Committees meet with regularity.
