Alumni Board Restructures into Alumni Council
Over the past six months, the BAC Alumni Board and BAC Alumni Relations partnered together to transform the Alumni Association's governing structure to better serve the BAC community and to diversify representation in alumni volunteer leadership to engage the alumni body more robustly. Together, the Alumni Board and the College restructured the Alumni Association's Bylaws into a new Constitution. In June 2018, the BAC Alumni Association voted to adopt the new Constitution and effectively transformed the Alumni Board into the Alumni Council. Serving as the new Alumni Association governing body, the Alumni Council aims to increase representation among the diverse alumni population while also encouraging greater collaboration between BAC alumni, students, trustees, and College administration.
To ensure a smooth transition from the Alumni Board to the current Alumni Council through October 2018, we have established the Alumni Council Transition Team. This group of alumni and BAC Alumni Relations is comprised of past Alumni Board Members, Trustees, and supportive alumni eager to spearhead this new initiative. The Alumni Council Transition Team will act as the interim governing body until a slate of candidates are voted in to the Alumni Council in October 2018. We hope you will participate in this exciting new evolution of alumni volunteer leadership.
You can learn more about the Alumni Council by viewing the Member Overview and Responsibilities. If you would like to get involved, we encourage you to nominate yourself by completing the Alumni Council Nomination Form. Please let any of us know if you have any questions and we look forward to embarking on this new chapter together.
