“I anticipate the new board members will bring great ideas to the table and show leadership through volunteerism to help us better serve Middle Tennessee alumni all over the country,” McClendon said. “As alumni of the largest undergraduate institution in Tennessee, we rely on our board of directors to spread the word about our great university.”
McClendon added that the mission of the National Alumni Association Board of Directors is to develop and foster sound relationships between MTSU and its alumni and to provide a strong force for the advancement and support of the university.
Nominations for the 2008-09 board of directors will be accepted beginning in January 2008, he said, adding, “Support your alumni association by nominating someone to serve. We look forward to seeing you at an alumni event in your area.”
