Meet the Executive Board

Your Alumnae/i Association is an independent, non-profit entity.

It is a volunteer organization governed by a member-elected Executive Board that works in partnership with the Simmons Office of Advancement and Alumnae/i Relations.

Our Executive Board is made up of undergraduate alumnae/i serving a three-year term as Board Directors leading other volunteer alumnae/i in committees.  

Our committees focus on administrating the activities of the Association, as well as producing programs and events that encourage networking, student outreach, to support Simmons Athletics, to confer our annual Alumnae/i Achievement Awards, and to increase communication with fellow alumnae/i about our activities and members.

Join the Alumnae/i Association Executive Board

The Executive Board seeks nominations for open positions on a rolling basis – Contact us to get involved!

The AAEB is seeking candidates who will help live up to their mission to strengthen the relationship between alumnae/i and Simmons University, and help ensure the success of Simmons University for generations to come. The AAEB hosts virtual meetings monthly, so applicants do not have to be local to Boston.

We typically hold our annual meeting in person at the summer Reunion weekend.

For more information about these roles, please view our open positions.

If you have any questions please feel free to email the Director of Nominations at volunteer@simmonsalumassoc.org.
