UOAA CHAPTERS
ESTABLISHING A CHAPTER
How to become a Recognized Chapter
a. Contact an Assistant Director of Alumni Relations. The Assistant
Director will identify how many alumni reside in the area and
what chapter tier the chapter would fall into for programming,
scholarship and finances.
b. Identify alumni who would be willing to serve on the steering
committee or who might become chapter leaders.
c. Establish an initial meeting with the committee and the UOAA
d. Group leadership will then begin recruiting active members,
defined as either Annual or Life Members of the UOAA. All
steering committee and Chapter leaders must be current members
of the UOAA and should encourage fellow alumni to become
members as well.
e. Each chapter will need to complete an annual report to the UOAA
outlining events, communications and other activities for the
year. This report will be used for long term development and
growth of the chapter.
ADMINISTRATION OF CHAPTERS
All Chapters operate as an extension of the UOAA. Accordingly, the
UOAA must adopt from time to time various policies and procedures
by which Chapters must operate.
The UOAA Bylaws charge the Executive Director with proper
administration of the UOAA, including all funds controlled or
generated by the UOAA. The Board has given the Executive Director
the authority to interpret and expand upon established policies to
insure the consistent administration of all chapter activities in a
manner that best reflects upon the University and to insure proper
administration of all Chapter funds.
If a Chapter has suggestions for new policies or procedures, or desires
a change in existing policies or procedures, the UOAA Board will
consider the matter. The first step is to outline the suggestion or
concern for the Executive Director. Depending upon the urgency of
the matter, it will be considered at the next meeting of the Board’s
Constituency Relations Committee or by the Executive Committee.
