VUAA Board Nominations

Call for Candidates

The Villanova University Alumni Association seeks candidates for consideration for its
Board of Directors.
Self-nominations are encouraged.


About the Board of Directors

The VUAA Board of Directors establishes the overall strategic direction for the Alumni Association, represents the VUAA within the University community and provides advice and counsel to the staff. Board members interact with administrators, faculty, staff and alumni to increase their knowledge of the Alumni Association and to advocate for current and future needs and goals.

Board of Directors Responsibilities

Individual Board members act as representatives for the Alumni Association and should be knowledgeable of all VUAA programs. Board members are assigned to serve on at least one committee and to lend their professional expertise as needed.

The Board seeks directors who have supported alumni involvement through the VUAA or elsewhere in the University, regularly participate in the Alumni Annual Giving program and support the Alumni Association's mission. The Association matches identified needs of the Board with the skills of prospective candidates and strives to create a body that represents the diversity of the Association's membership.

The Board of Directors meets three times per year, in the fall, winter and spring. Meetings begin at noon on Friday and conclude by noon on Saturday. Attendance at board meetings is critical, so dates are scheduled well in advance. Board members serve a maximum of two 3-year terms.

How to Submit a Candidate for Consideration

To nominate yourself or another alumnus/a, please submit a letter of interest and résumé to:
