Board and Committees

Members make recommendations on structures, procedures, policies and people to effectively lead the University of Calgary Alumni Association. They also appoint and nominate alumni to roles as required by the Alberta Post-Secondary Learning Act.

Members provide guidance and help create meaningful alumni programs and events by identifying potential hosts, speakers and panellists within their personal and professional networks, as well as within the broader alumni and Calgary communities. They also take active roles at events and programs throughout the year.
 

Members work to establish consistent and meaningful award and recognition opportunities to celebrate the accomplishments of our alumni in order to elevate the reputation and stature of the University of Calgary Alumni Association and the university. Members also identify external recognition opportunities and play an active role in nominating alumni.
 

Members empower alumni around the world to engage with each other and the university in ways that are meaningful and self-directed.
