Board Overview
After Dartmouth mandated the creation of Alumni Boards for all Greek organizations, the Alpha Chi Alpha Alumni Association was incorporated in 2016 and the Board was established at our annual meeting during homecoming on October 29, 2016. The objectives of the Board are:
- To advise the current brotherhood on pertinent matters (including finances, alumni relations, general operations, and long term planning)
- To raise and administer funds for the support of house scholarships and alumni activities. As part of this effort, the AXA Board has taken on the responsibility of handling all fundraising for AXA.
- To enhance the alumni network through free planned events at reunions and homecoming
- To maintain a comprehensive Alumni Directory located at https://axa.searchwavelength.com/ for connecting with old friends, networking, and job searches.
Advisors
Alumni Advisor: Jim Wasz ’79
Faculty Advisor: Trip Davis ’90 (Executive Director of the Office of Entrepreneurship and Technology Transfer)
Request for Volunteers
As a volunteer board, we are constantly looking for new board members as well as committee members. The Alumni Relations committee is actively looking for brothers from the 90s/00s/10s to bridge the gap between the younger and older members of our team. We also hope to add a couple of fresh faces to the Alumni Board in advance of this year’s annual Homecoming meeting. If you or anyone you know are interested, please reach out to us.
Request for Financial Support
The Alumni Association’s conservative budget, with expenses of $20-25k, includes funding scholarships (approx. 85% of the budget), providing events for alums (10% of budget), and operating costs (5% of budget). Every member of the Board and our two Advisor brothers have made pledges to this year’s operating budget. Your donation directly supports the current brothers in need as well as the Alumni events we can all enjoy. Any surplus in donations will be used to grow our endowment fund (currently about $125,000). This endowment can be used to partially fund annual expenses (dependent upon scholarship needs vs. fundraising support) and is intended to be grown over time to provide a financial safety net for the Association.
