EKU Alumni Board

The Eastern Kentucky University International Alumni Association connects its 100,000 plus alumni to their alma mater, to each other, to building traditions, fostering student and alumni leadership, serving the diverse needs and interests of the community, advising EKU in the advancement of their mission, and creating opportunities for investment in EKU’s future.

In order to carry out this mission, the Alumni Association is governed by an Alumni Board of approximately 25-30 members who have been nominated by their peers and confirmed by a majority vote of the current board members. The Board is responsible for directing the efforts of their fellow alumni that will best advance the mission and reach of Eastern Kentucky University.

The board is guided by the officers that hold the following leadership roles; President, Vice President and Secretary. In addition to the executive positions, the vehicle that delivers tangible efforts of the Alumni Association is committee work in the areas of Scholarship and Student Success, Awards and Recognition and Board Development.

Alumni Board members have some basic expectations that embody the culture of action over opinion. Beyond attending the three official board meetings and providing a financial contribution to the fund of their choice, board members routinely participate in committee business in order to provide high-quality programs and services to fellow alumni. Board members actively seek opportunities to volunteer with other university offices outside Development and Alumni Engagement in order to promote the EKU brand.
