The House of Delegates consists of alumni representatives from across the United States and Canada who advise and assist the Alumni Association in its outreach programs.  Delegates may assist with recruiting new students to the University, fund raising and legislative relations.  Each spring new delegates are chosen with the approval of the Board of Directors.  Delegates serve three-year terms and have the option of becoming an emeritus member at the end of their three-year commitment.  Delegates are invited to attend the annual delegates’ meeting held in Missoula at Homecoming each fall. 

Examples of volunteer activities

• Assist the Alumni Office and other delegates in your area in planning and organizing alumni or University events when needed.  
• Review your district lists of area alumni provided by UMAA (during the Leadership Seminar). Check for obvious errors. Alert the Alumni Office, adding business information wherever possible.  Ask for business cards of alumni you meet and send them to the Alumni Office.

• Assist with the Ask-An-Alum career mentoring program. 
• Help identify and recruit prospective students for The University of Montana. 
• Observe local newspapers for good news about UM alumni.  Inform the Alumni Office and send congratulatory notes on your own behalf and that of UMAA. 
• Indicate to UMAA if you are interested in serving on other University boards or advisory councils.  Most professional schools and colleges on campus have groups similar to the House of Delegates and the UMAA Board of Directors.  We will refer your name to the appropriate academic office if you are interested.
• Identify and nominate individuals to join the House of Delegates.  You will be advised by the Alumni Office when names are needed. The alumni staff will forward your recommendations to the Board of Directors for selection of the next class of delegates.

Consider becoming a Delegate Emeritus.  After completing your three-year term, you can continue to be on the mailing list of delegates and called upon to help UMAA when assistance is needed and you have the time to give.

Contact HOD coordinator, Jodi Johnson Moreau at jodi.moreau@umontana.edu for more information on this exciting volunteer opportunity.

Please take a few moments to consider UM alumni and if you feel you would enjoy promoting the University and helping UMAA with various outreach projects. Submit new delegates' names and pertinent information by completing the nomination/application form either on-line or download it and return it back to UMAA.  Once this is completed, we'll send them a letter, explain the program in more detail and ask if they would be interested in becoming a delegate.
