Alumni Association Chair’s letter for Fall 2010 Hello UFV alumni:
As your board of directors, we have a lot to do this year in regards to fund raising, an annual general meeting and putting the finishing touches on a new strategic plan so we are anxious to get at it.
Once again Convocation was a great success thanks to all those involved in the process. With Convocation this year we saw the addition of 1,800 more graduates added to our ever growing community of alumni. Welcome aboard all of you who graduated this year. We look forward to having you a part of the Alumni Association family. We will make every effort to stay in touch with you in the years ahead; and if you ever need any information on events or activities please do not hesitate to contact us by visiting our website at www.ufv.ca/alumni. All the best and good luck in your future endeavors.
This past year marked the end of the association’s first three-year strategic plan that has steered the Alumni Association through a period of positive governance and policy development. In July your board held a one-day retreat to map the course for the next three years. With solid facilitation we were able to generate a number of sound ideas to move the association to a new plateau in its growth, development, and engagement while attempting to dove-tail with the university’s new strategic plan. We were excited to have UFV president Mark Evered participate in his new role as an ex-officio member of the Alumni Association board. We look forward to completing and approving the plan this fall.
As part of the new strategic plan, your board plans to not only engage you in the events of the university but also engage the new students coming on to campus. We will accomplish this by attending a number of important events including new student orientation and student move-in days at Baker House among many others you’ll read about in the alumni section of this expanded UFV magazine.
As a board, we are always looking to have new people join us and as we look forward to our AGM this fall on Mon, Oct 18 we would love to see you there. I truly appreciate everyone for their support and in particular the UFV Alumni Association Board of Directors and Alumni Relations office staff. They are a great group of individuals that work hard with your interests in mind to build a strong and vibrant association.
I wish you continued success in your career and life choices and we hope to see you soon at one of our many events.
Tony Luck, BBA ’96, BA ’07
Chair, UFV Alumni Association
