Alumni Association Board of Directors Application

Thank you for your interest in applying to the Augustana College Alumni Association Board of Directors (hereinafter Alumni Board).

The Alumni Board Alumni voluntarily give their time, talent, and treasure as an expression of endorsement of the mission and values of Augustana College.

The Alumni Board meets virtually every quarter with a hybrid meeting taking place during Homecoming and Family Weekend. An in-person only meeting takes place during the Volunteer Leadership Retreat, which occurs on campus in the spring. Board members are expected to support the college on an annual basis financially.

These standards of service express the basic level of engagement expected from an Alumni Association Board Member. Alumni Board members will:

• Accept a three-year term of appointment with the potential of a second three-year term.
• Attend and participate in quarterly meetings, with one meeting taking place in a hybrid format (fall). A virtual option will be offered for the fall hybrid meeting, but members are encouraged to make every effort to attend in person. The spring quarterly meeting will be in person only at the Volunteer Leadership Retreat.
• Assume responsibility for personal travel and lodging expenses to attend in-person board meetings.
• Cooperate and respect the opinions of fellow board members.
• Be a philanthropic ambassador for Augustana.
• Financially support the College on an annual basis (where monetary gifts are directed and the amount of gifts is at the discretion of each board member).
• Serve as a liaison between the college and the Alumni Association by attending and assisting with alumni events, alumni chapter events Homecoming and Family Weekend and more.
• Share information on personal social media pages on behalf of the college.

Applications received by April 1st are reviewed each year at the board’s spring meeting, and chosen applicants will receive an invitation to join by June 15th. Your application is only active for this single review cycle and will not automatically roll over to the next year. If you are not selected this time but want to be considered in the future, you will need to submit a new application for the next cycle. If you want to review your past answers to help you reapply, simply email alumni@augustana.edu to request access to your old application."
