• encourage enlightened, active and positive participation of alumni in University and Alumni Association affairs and activities.
• attend NAB General Board Meetings held twice a year and participate in Committee meetings, typically done via conference call.

• serve as an ambassador in the community on behalf of the SJU Alumni Association and Saint Joseph’s University

• provide direct input and feedback to SJU Alumni Relations strategy (for example, right now we're working on Plan 2020 which has an alumni component)
• review and recommend candidates for Alumni Association awards, volunteer leaders or future NAB members
  

Additionally, regional directors:
