Regional Alumni Representative

Deadline: Friday, May 5, 2023 by 11:59PM ET

Overview

There are currently 6 regional alumni representatives, some representing two regions. Each year a new representative from each region is selected to serve a one year term. Representatives who complete the one year term are still eligible to serve on the Board of Directors as the international alumni representative for the full two year term if they apply and are elected.  This position is considered an excellent opportunity for those interested in serving on the Board of Directors as an international alumni representative.

Eligibility

All nominees must be graduating in the current year in which they are nominated or have graduated the previous year.

Application Process

The application form completed is the same as the application completed for the international alumni representative position. Students may apply for both the international and regional alumni representative position. It is important to note if you are only applying for the regional alumni representative position, your employer only has to commit to the time and financial commitment required to attend one mid-year  meeting, and the annual meeting if they choose.  Just as with the international alumni representative positions, if your employer can not make the financial commitment, Beta Alpha Psi will make the commitment in their place and this will not negatively impact your candidacy.     

Selection Process

Top applicants are interviewed by the two serving international alumni representatives by phone or virtually. The finalists are presented to the board of directors during the June Board of Directors meeting where they vote for the incoming representative.

Contact

For more information, contact current alumni representatives Rilley Ramos or Mangala Prasetia.
