Nominations for vacancies are due annually by April 1.
New Alumni Board members are selected from nominations to the Nominating Committee for three-year terms beginning July 1. The Board meets in person on UGA’s campus in the fall and continues to work together virtually throughout the year, with four virtual all member meetings and four virtual committee meetings. Members are expected to attend meetings, serve on a committee and stay engaged with alumni affairs. Engagement includes campus events, alumni networking, student programs and philanthropic initiatives.

Members of the Alumni Board Working group determined the direction of the Alumni Board by drafting bylaws, selecting inaugural members and nominating the first executive committee. We are grateful for their commitment to the future of our students and alumni that will leave a legacy at the Odum School for years to come.
