Board Member Application

The National Board of Directors is the chief elected body of the FSU Alumni Association, representing the interests of Association Members and constituents. The National Board of Directors has the responsibility to ensure the success of the Association by setting policy, following the Strategic Plan, providing input, guidance, oversight and expertise.

Members will sit on various Board committees, dependent upon their expertise, skill-sets, and interest levels. These committees will develop policies, review goals, and administer strategic objectives that directly impact the Association and the greater University community. It is expected that Members are active and participatory, not just in meetings, but also as ambassadors and representatives of the Alumni Association in their home areas.

Prospective Board Members are expected to attend three meetings, held in Tallahassee or elsewhere, throughout the course of the year (typically held in February, June, and September). Members are responsible for their own travel expenditures. There are also interim discussions and meetings held via email/conference call that occur on an as-needed basis.

Applications to serve on the FSU Alumni Association Board of Directors are typically accepted in the early fall each year. For information about the application process, please check back closer to that time or contact David Overstreet, Director of Administration and Operations, at doverstreet@fsu.edu.
