board that works collaboratively with the School of Law to engage alumni in the life
of the law school. The Board, along with the Law School external relations department,
establishes and implements the alumni relations program.
Board members serve a two-year term and may be nominated and elected for a maximum
of three terms. Board members serve on a minimum of one committee and attend both
board and committee meetings on a regular basis. Board meetings occur four times per
year.

connected to and supporting the law school. The Board oversees UBLAA efforts and serves
as an extension of the law school’s alumni engagement pursuits.
