Board members instill pride in FGCU through example. They promote and assist with programs and attend key alumni events, inspiring other graduates to give their time, talents and financial support to academic programs, research and service opportunities. Members of the board of directors serve two-year terms. During this time, they are expected to:

• Attend and have an active role in three board meetings and one summer retreat each year (in person or via Skype).
• Serve actively on at least one board subcommittee and participate in a majority of the meetings. Subcommittees are Awards and Recognition, Community Outreach, Development, and Programming.     
• Become a member of Forever an Eagle and contribute yearly to the annual fund.
• Become an advocate for FGCU by talking to prospective students; encouraging fellow alumni to submit class notes, become a mentor, assist in identifying nominees for the annual Alumni Awards and attend events; join Eagle Advocacy through the Office of Government Relations; and form ties with businesses and encourage them to become sponsors.
