Mission Statement of the Monmouth College Alumni Board of Directors The mission of the Monmouth College Alumni Board of Directors shall be to promote and to advance the interests of Monmouth College and to establish and maintain mutually beneficial relations between the College, her alumni, her students and society at large.

The Alumni Board of Directors, composed of 34 alumni members, governs the Alumni Association (the body of all former Monmouth College students who have completed at least two semesters of academic work). These elected men and women come from a variety of professional backgrounds, geographical areas and class years. Alumni Board members are elected to five-year terms from nominations solicited from alumni and college administration. Standing committees within the board promote a variety of programs and services designed to benefit both alumni and the college.

By volunteering their time and talents, board members strengthen and maintain the ties of the alumni to their alma mater. They also assist the college by hosting alumni events, serving on class reunion planning committees, assisting with the admission effort, supporting the Monmouth Fund and selecting alumni award recipients each year. The board meets in full session twice a year (once in the fall and once in the spring) for meetings in which Monmouth College administrators enlist board members’ advice on matters of interest to alumni and the Alumni Association.
