Established in 1892, the Emma Willard School Alumnae Association Council provides a vital link between the school and its diverse and loyal graduates.
The Council members meet three times per year. They have two on-campus meetings (Oct. 29-30 and May 19-20) and one meeting via teleconference on Feb. 25.
Council Officers are elected for a term of three years in that position; no Officer shall serve more than one term in the same office. All Members-at-Large are elected for a term of three years; with Members serving no more than two consecutive terms in that position. No member of the Council shall serve on the Council for more than fifteen consecutive years. The Annual Alumnae Association meeting is held each year during Reunion.
Each year new members are elected to the Alumnae Association Council. If you are interested in serving your Alma Mater in this way or know someone else who you think might be interested, please submit your nomination by completing the AAC Nomination Form. We need your ideas and enthusiastic participation. Even if you do not have time right now to serve, please offer your suggestions. Emma Willard alumnae are never short of opinions, and we always welcome yours.
