The work of your Board of Directors is primarily carried out at the committee level. Committees perform tasks assigned by the Board, bring recommendations back, and provide updates, suggestions, and news at each Board meeting. The effectiveness of these committees depends on alumni volunteerism. We actively encourage alumni participation and welcome contributions to our open committees. Committees meet regularly.
