January 10, 2011 -- The Montgomery College Alumni Association nominating committee is now accepting applications from former Montgomery College students interested in becoming active in association leadership, including serving a three-year term on the board, beginning July 1, 2011.

Former students interested in becoming active with the board must apply online by Tuesday, February 1 at 5 p.m. Applicants will interview with a committee of association volunteers, who will recommend nominees for leadership positions. Board members are elected through an electronic ballot sent to alumni each spring.

The Alumni Association relies on active, involved volunteers to ensure the best results for its members. The board is the association’s governing body, setting policy and program direction for the association and its sponsored activities. Board members devote more than 30 hours each year to board duties and receive no compensation. Committees comprise board members and non-board volunteers who review association issues, oversee progress toward operating goals, and recommend action in their area of responsibility. Time commitments vary by committee.

Alumni Association membership is open to all former Montgomery College students—whether or not they graduated—and retired staff and faculty of the College. The association operates as part of the Montgomery College Foundation, Inc.

The online application form for the board is available at: http://cms.montgomerycollege.edu/alumnivolunteerapplication.

Resumes and other materials in support of the application should be sent by e-mail, with “Nominating Committee” in the subject line, to: alumni@montgomerycollege.edu. The deadline for the submission of the application and supporting materials is Tuesday, February 1, 2011, at 5 p.m.
