Give back and help shape the future of Drexel! The Nominations Committee of the Alumni Board of Governors invites all alumni to participate in the annual call for nominations. The Board of Governors is a group of volunteers elected to represent their fellow alumni. The number of available elected director positions changes from year to year, depending on the current directors' term limits.

Ideal candidates will have demonstrated leadership and service to their chosen profession, Drexel University and the community.

The Board of Governors is actively seeking a representative group of qualified nominees who meet these criteria and who are eager and willing to commit their time and share their wisdom in representing the alumni constituency.

Board members are expected to accept a leadership and participatory role by working closely with the Office of Alumni Relations to further its mission and its strategic initiatives. Board participation requires a time commitment at quarterly meetings of the full Board, quarterly committee meetings, and a presence at campus and alumni events. Board members are also asked to make an annual gift to the University. Elected directors may serve up to two consecutive three-year terms.
