UIAA Directors

I am honored to serve as the new President of the Board of Directors for your University of Idaho Alumni Association (UIAA). Our Board is a diverse, talented and motivated group that is excited to make sure our Vandal family stays connected to and excited about our beloved alma mater. I humbly enter this role with a set of goals for the upcoming year. I’ll spare you from my full list but will highlight a few.

I will lead the Board in wisely managing and building its resources to maximize our engagement for and with you — our proud alumni! We hope you can join us and your local Vandal alumni chapters as we work together to bring you a plethora of upcoming events in your communities across the country.

Another top focus of my role in partnership with university leadership is to strengthen our collective efforts to advocate for higher education in Idaho. President Green recently told me that his top request of U of I alumni is advocacy — speaking up and speaking out to Idaho’s political decision-makers about the importance and value of U of I and Idaho’s higher education system.

State funding of our public higher education institutions remains threatened by elected officials whose ideology seeks to tear at the fabric of Idaho’s higher education system. In the months ahead, UIAA and the Office of Alumni Relations will be sending out information and ways for you to engage and support President Green and his efforts.

I hope to see old friends and meet new ones at some of the many fun upcoming alumni events. Best wishes and…GOOOOO VANDALS!
