Young Alumni Council
Young Alumni Council Mission statement: To build the nation's largest network of engaged young alumni  The Iowa State University Alumni Association’s Young Alumni Council is made up of graduates of the past 10 years. The first-ever meetings of the council were held on Sept. 7-8, 2007. Over the next several years, the Iowa State University Alumni Association (ISUAA) will place an increased emphasis on creating and sustaining meaningful connections with Iowa State’s “young alumni” (graduates of the past 10 years). Targeted event planning, financial and human resources, membership drives, marketing campaigns, and various communications will be directed toward this growing demographic. Today, this group makes up 25.8 percent of the overall alumni body (51,045 of our 197.624 living, addressable graduates) and 10.6 percent of our current membership (4,700 of our 50,140). The importance of accepting, encouraging, and developing the talents and resources of this younger alumni demographic will be key to continued success in promoting Iowa State University and connecting Iowa State alumni with one another. One of the Iowa State University Alumni Association’s objectives is to proactively connect with current and future young alumni populations. This may occur in the following ways: • Marketing/membership campaigns • Interactive event planning and travel • Online networking • Personal, professional, and leadership development and philanthropic service opportunities To better focus our outreach to this group requires more involved and creative techniques, a more diverse message, and engaged leadership that understands the attitudes of the Young Alumni segment. With the Young Alumni Council's assistance and involvement we will be able to better reach out to this segment of our alumni population and create meaningful experiences to keep them connected and engaged with Iowa State University, the ISUAA, and each other. • The Young Alumni Council consists of 14 active Iowa State University alumni and 2 students who meet defined criteria. • Members have been dispersed according to graduation year to utilize all ranges within this 10-year spectrum, and consist of diverse demographics. • The council will meet in Ames 2 to 3 times per year. • Each council member is responsible for costs associated with his or her travel back to Ames. The inaugural council was charged with creating the bylaws and setting the goals for the council. The following goals were established in September 2007: • Engage young alumni in ISUAA programs • Expand partnership opportunities externally and within the Iowa State University community • Develop targeted strategies to connect and engage young alumni with Iowa State University, the ISUAA, and each other The Young Alumni Council is also reviewing the ISUAA’s current programming and proposing ideas for reaching the “recent graduate” or “young alumni” demographic.
