Director Responsibilities

We understand that the effort put forth by volunteers on behalf of Claremont McKenna College and fellow alumni is just that: voluntary. With this in mind we look for at least the following qualities in our Board members:

  • Respect and understand the Association's policies, purpose, and goals.
  • Learn about and further the relationship of Claremont McKenna College and fellow alumni.
  • Participate in Board meetings and serve on Board committees.
  • Serve in leadership positions to undertake special assignments.
  • Suggest possible nominees to the Board who are men and women of achievement and distinction.
  • Give an annual gift according to personal means and help obtain support from others.
  • In general, make final decisions on important matters of general policy.

Term of Directors

Generally, a director is elected to serve a three-year term. There is no limit on the number of terms a director may serve, either by rule or by custom.

In addition to regular directors (elected), there are four other classifications of directors, as follows:

  • Appointed Directors: May represent important groups or have backgrounds not currently accounted for on the Board. Appointed directors serve a one-year term.
  • Alumni Trustees: Nominated by the Alumni Association to serve a three-year term on the College's Board of Trustees.
    Alumni Director: Employed by the College and serves as the alumni professional to and assistant secretary for the CMCAA.
  • Ex-Officio Directors: Represent important groups affiliated with the College including the Senior Class President of the College and the immediate Past President of the Corporation. All Ex-officio directors serve for a one-year term.
