Having an alumni program is not enough. The fraternity must also have Brothers who will take the program to the provinces where it can be implemented on the local level. To meet this need, the Alumni Affairs Committee worked with two Province Governors to create a pilot position for the province level known as the Province Alumni Coordinator. Brothers in this position would be responsible for promoting activity that would include all aspects of the proposed national alumni program, i.e. alumni associations and interest groups, alumni mentor programs, alumni-centered collegiate chapter programming, team advising, etc. These Brothers would spend their time cultivating other Brothers to actually run the programs, so they wouldn't have time to do the detail work themselves. They would function more like recruiters and managers than workers. These positions would be ideal for alumni wanting to build their credibility in the fraternity. Rather than attempt to force this idea on provinces, the committee is recommending that individual provinces experiment with this program and tailor it to meet their own needs. For more information, contact a National Staff member for the report detailing the success of the two current Province Alumni Coordinators, John Heath (Province 20) and Jeffrey Hoffman (Province 27).
