Board of Directors
The UND Alumni Association & Foundation Board of Directors is made up of people who give back to the University of North Dakota.
The UNDAAF is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Our Board of Directors provides strategic direction and governance. Task forces within the board, based on professional expertise, provide ongoing advisement. They are elected every three years and serve three-year terms.
The UND alumni family, as well as our administration, faculty and students, appreciates their dedication.
