Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College Alumni Board strives to set an example of how our alumni can ASPIRE HIGHER, and continue to engage with and support the College after graduation. Our Alumni Board is a working board, meaning that there will be expectations of board member engagement and involvement outside of the three board meetings each year. By serving on the SMWC Alumni Board of Directors, I am committing to the following:
- I will attend and be fully present at all board meetings as scheduled. If I have an emergency or am not able to make a meeting due to a non-negotiable obligation, I will contact the president of the board to discuss my absence.
- I will support my local alumni group. I will work with other Alumni Board members to ensure there is contact from the Alumni Board with active alumni groups.
- I will host, co-host or participate in a “Celebrating Service” volunteer event, and plan to least one local alumni event in my area.
- I will actively serve and participate on the committee(s) and attend all
committee meetings I have been assigned to by the
President: (Advancement, Special Projects or other ad hoc committee assignments).
- I will assist when asked throughout the year, with thank you notes, community outreach (i.e. connections with local alumni), campus events, etc.
- I will be an advocate of SMWC within my network of influence and within my community.
- I will give a meaningful financial gift to the Woods Fund. My gift will be reflective of my role on the Board and my capacity to give.
- I will encourage other alumni in my life to give a gift to SMWC within their capacity to give.
- I will uphold the duties, roles, and responsibilities as a board member and
adhere to preserving the mission and purpose of the ABOD, and carry out all
activities with integrity, trust, and respect.
- I understand that information shared at the ABOD meetings may not be
public knowledge and I agree maintaining confidentiality regarding
information that is discussed at our meetings.
By signing below, I agree that I will fulfill the above commitments. If at any time during my service on the SMWC Alumni Board of Directors I feel that I cannot meet any of the above commitments, I will discuss this with the president of the board and the SMWC Office of Alumni Relations.
