Seeking Nominations for 2018 Board of Directors

In accordance with the Camden Alumni Association Constitution and By-Laws, we are seeking nominations from current active members in good standing for positions on the Camden Alumni Board of Directors for the 2018 elections.

A member in good standing is considered an alumnus who is currently up to date on dues payments. If you are interested in one of these board positions, and your dues are not up to date, just fill out the membership form found here and mail it to the address indicated along with a check for $5 to cover the 2017-2018 annual dues.

Nominations shall be by petition from the candidate seeking office. The petition must be endorsed by at least two other dues paying members for the last two years. The petition shall be submitted to the President by February 15th. You can find a nomination petition form here.

It is the responsibility of all board members to attend a majority of the board meetings held, usually numbering 3 or 4 meetings annually. The remaining duties specific to any position are available on the alumni website.

With the exception of the presidential offices, there are no term limits for any board of director positions. Incumbents can continue to run for office as long as they wish to hold the position. As of this notice, we do not know if any incumbents wish to withdraw from office, but election nominations are open to any qualified alumni willing to run for office and fulfill the duties of the position for which they are nominated.

Happy New Year to All Alumni!!

Just a quick note to say “Happy New Year” to everyone!!

I also just wanted to let everyone know I will be sending out IRS compliant receipts for donations to the Scholarship Fund to everyone who donated $250 or more.  We are a 501.(c).3 non-profit organization, and these donations are tax-deductible for those that itemize deductions. Donations of $250 or more require a receipt from the receiving organization, so I am proactively sending them out for those who donated $250 or more.

If you itemize deductions and donated less than $250 and would like a receipt of your donation, please request it by sending an email to registrar@camdenalumni.com  Please include your name, mailing address and graduation year so I can easily find your record in the database.
