Board of Alumni Nomination

Lewis & Clark College Board of Alumni:

Who we are and what we do

The Board of Alumni helps build and maintain connections among alumni of the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS). We also strengthen the connections between the CAS alumni community and Lewis & Clark College. We do this by:

  1. Developing and promoting enjoyable and relevant alumni events
  2. Championing alumni participation in sustaining and strengthening a strong fiscal foundation for the College’s next generation of students

Individual board members take a leadership role in classic alumni events such as the Alumni Honors Banquet and Alumni Weekend/ Homecoming. Members also initiate efforts that reflect the unique character of the college, such as developing a platform for mobilizing alumni service in local, regional and international volunteer efforts.

We balance these specific projects against our equally important responsibility to galvanize alumni participation in the Annual Fund. The board is currently assessing our fundraising goals in light of the College’s needs and goals to ensure that our efforts are strategically focused.

What we’re looking for in board members

Alumni board members love Lewis & Clark College. While no single characteristic defines an ideal member of the board, we seek nominees who are high achieving and high-energy enthusiasts of the College. We seek alumni of the College of Arts and Sciences who have the drive, the focus, and the skills to contribute to the success of the board and the College.

It is important that our collective board membership reflect the richness of Lewis and Clark’s diverse student population and community.
