Board of Directors

What began in 2010 as an Advisory Council has evolved into ABSAP’s Board of Directors. Our mission is clear: to elevate the impact and visibility of the alumni relations profession. The Board is dedicated to advancing professional credibility, accelerating career growth for our members, and shaping the future of education advancement.
