Board of Directors
We Work for You!
The UNM Alumni Association is governed by a national board of 36 members and four ex-officio members.
The board is charged with guiding the Association “to be a vital partner in the continued excellence of the University of New Mexico through the significant engagement of alumni.”
The entire board meets three times a year; the executive committee meets monthly.
