The Tulane Alumni Association was founded in 1898 and our Board of Directors serves as a liaison for both alumni and current students, fosters alumni fellowship and makes the entire university closer and stronger. The board advises university officials on matters of importance to alumni and encourages alumni to attend events, participate in programs and support the university.
Any Tulanian who has completed at least 12 credits is eligible to serve as a member of the TAA board. Our members come from every school and college and all around the country.

Board of Directors Nomination Form
The Nominations Committee of the Tulane Alumni Association (TAA) Board of Directors seeks input and assistance in identifying qualified alumni as nominees for a Board of Directors position. Those selected will serve a two-year term; ideal candidates have an interest and ability to serve and support Tulane University in various capacities.
Board members are elected for a two-year term (July 1 – June 30) and are renewable for up to two additional two-year terms. Board members are expected to attend meetings in New Orleans at their own expense whenever possible (limited funds are available for alumni fewer than ten years from their graduation) or participate virtually, if necessary; serve on at least one board committee; make a meaningful annual gift to Tulane and serve as an ambassador for the university. If you have additional questions or would like to discuss expectations for board members, please contact Jered Bocage at jbocage@tulane.edu.
The annual deadline for submissions for the term to begin July 1, 2026, is October 15, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. Central Time. You must complete and submit your form in one session.
Self-nominations are accepted. All nominees will be notified and asked to accept their nomination in November as well as provide additional supporting materials prior to committee consideration. If your nominee is not chosen for this year’s slate, please note that we will keep their nomination on file as a potential future candidate for the board.
