CHAPTERS



The AAMU Alumni Chapter

AAMU National Alumni Association (Association) consists of 34 chapters located in various U.S. cities. Each chapter operates independently under the principles and guidelines of the National Association Constitution & By-Laws. Chapters are aligned by geographical regions under the oversight of Regional Vice Presidents who are elected to provide leadership, support and advice to Chapters. A Chapter President's forum exist (Council of Presidents) who meet regularly to discuss issues, share good practices and provide recommendations to the Association leadership.

Alumni Chapters have a vital role and serve as the connecting link between alums, National Alumni Association, the local community and the University. Chapters participate in a wide variety of activities that promote and enhance the Mission of the Association and AAMU. This include hosting AAMU Administrators, conducting periodic scholarship fundraiser events, assisting in student recruitment, performing community service projects, etc.

The Alumni Affairs Office is also available to assist chapters in their growth and development.
