The Alumni Association of Case Western Reserve University’s Board of Directors is dedicated to fostering strong and active partnerships between the university and its graduates. Board involvement provides opportunities for alumni to engage in strategic university planning efforts and play an important role in the university's mission.
The 18-member board consists of an executive committee, four standing committees and two ad hoc committees. Members of the board of directors are individually elected to three-year terms of service. Regular board meetings are open to all alumni, faculty, staff, students and other interested parties. To learn more about board structure and governance, please view the board's articles of governance.
We invite alumni and friends to attend Board of Directors meetings. To find out when upcoming meetings are scheduled and to register, please visit our upcoming events page.
The Alumni Association is looking for board members with diverse interests, backgrounds and locations to ensure a representative group with a broad range of skills.
Board members serve a minimum of one three-year term on the board. After completing this term, members have the option to renew their commitment for an additional three-year term.
If you are interested in applying, please complete the application form. A university staff member or an alumni board member will reach out to you soon to discuss your interest further.
