Board of Directors

A Board of Directors, consisting of 3 officers, 18 directors, members at large and the immediate past president. Three men and three women are selected annually to serve three-year terms.

New members begin their term on July 1 each year. The deadline for nominations is January.

The Association is a separate entity from the University of Delaware and is completely self funded. As a result, the Association relies on support from alumni to generate the income their affinity partnerships generate. The income from these partnerships is used to fund all of its alumni programs and student scholarships.
The Office of Alumni Relations serves as the daily working arm of the association, executing the strategies of the Board of Directors, as well as annual programming and outreach.
The committees of the board are: Awards, Executive, Finance, Merchandise and Benefits, Nominating, Outreach and Scholarship. Board members serve on at least one committee.
