Young Alumni Board

The Young Alumni Board of Directors was started as a steering committee in the summer of 2003 and has grown into a self-governing body of 24 volunteer members. Each spring, a new class of 8 members is selected to serve a 3-year term. During their term, Board members are asked to attend 4 annual Board meetings (typically on Saturday mornings) and fulfill action items determined by the Board to increase young alumni engagement.

Within the Board, there are four committees that help plan programming in various areas for young alumni living in central Indiana:

  • Engagement
  • Development
  • Big Event
  • Membership

The committees meet an average of 4 times per year, and the Board relies on input from each committee in organizing annual programs and new initiatives. Committee volunteers do not need to be members of the Board in order to participate on most of the committees.

To apply: applications are currently available for the June 2012-May 2015 term. Download and mail your application form or complete the application online. Graduates from 2002-2011 who reside in Central Indiana are eligible to apply. You can review the Young Alumni Board bylaws and Action Plan to learn more about the Board's purpose and expectations of current members. Applications will be accepted until 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday, February 29, 2012.
