HAMMOND – The Southeastern Louisiana University Alumni Association is seeking
energetic, action-oriented volunteers to serve on the Alumni Association Board of
Directors.
Executive Director of Alumni Relations Michelle Biggs said board members commit
their time and expertise to fulfill the association’s mission of strengthening ties
between the university, alumni and community.
“The board is comprised of a wide range of individuals who represent the entire
alumni base. Each member serves a two-year term, and their job is to assist in promoting
the mission of the Alumni Association in tandem with that of Southeastern,” said Biggs.
“They promote pride, help in student recruitment efforts, act as mentors, preserve
traditions of the university and encourage active membership in the association.”
Biggs said in order to be eligible to serve on the board, individuals must be
dues paying members of the Southeastern Alumni Association in good standing; demonstrate
involvement, support and commitment to Southeastern; possess the ability and willingness
to give time and resources to support the association; possess the ability to effectively
collaborate in a team environment; have effective verbal and written communication
skills; and have a personal interest in Southeastern, its students, alumni and the
community.
Alumni Association Board nomination packets are due to the Alumni Center by March
1. Packets consist of a completed nomination form; a copy of the nominee’s resume,
CV, LinkedIn Profile, or similar professional summary; and optional letters of support
from individuals other than the nominator. Nomination forms are available at southeastern.edu/alumniboard. Self-nominations are acceptable, Biggs said.
