A combined 51-years of experience is leaving the UW-L Alumni Board. Five members each completed nine-year terms and two served three-year terms.
“It’s fabulous to see these people so committed to the board,” says Janie Spencer, director of the UW-L Alumni Association. “They’ve been very involved not only on the board, but also in their communities. They are part of our history and our legacy.”
The alumni board aims to create a lifetime connection to the university for UW-L alumni. It keeps alums engaged through building relationships and organizing events. The alumni association’s membership program and affinity partnerships allow the association, a non-profit organization, to offer programs and services. Part of the board’s role is to be a steward of those funds and come up with new and creative ways to keep alums engaged, says Janie Spencer, director of the UW-L Alumni Association.
As Spencer thanks board members for their contributions to the board, she also welcomes seven new members.
A nominating committee reviews candidates for the board. The board seeks to represent the diversity of the alumni body. If someone is interested in joining the board, nominating someone for a board position or volunteering with the Alumni Association, contact Janie Spencer at 608.785.8495 or jspencer@uwlax.edu.
