HAMMOND – The Southeastern Louisiana University Alumni Association is seeking
energetic, action-oriented volunteers to fill four director positions 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 participation in the association.”
Biggs said in order to be eligible to serve on the board as a director, individuals
must be a graduate of Southeastern, serve on a volunteer basis for a two-year term,
attend quarterly board meetings in Hammond; serve on a committee; have a history of
involvement, support, and commitment to Southeastern; and possess demonstrated accomplishments
in either a chosen professional career and/or through community service.
The nominating committee will also take into consideration an individual’s potential
for representing the association’s various constituencies, their college major(s),
and their geographic location.
