The important role that alumni professionals can undertake in such areas as providing advice concerning admission and graduation requirements, curriculum development, and the search for university officials; helping in student recruitment; and contributing to library and art activities is addressed. Other important areas that can involve alumni include: fund-raising, public relations, legislative or governmental relations at all levels, career services, and continuing education. Attention is also directed to organizing the alumni board's structure, enlisting the right people, orienting and involving new board members, developing leadership, and dealing with noncontributors. A sample Alumni Board Evaluation questionnaire is appended. (SW)
