Alumni Executive Council
Purpose & Objectives
The Alumni Executive Council is a group of alumni who volunteer their time to:
1) Foster the relationship of the alumni to The School and to each other;
2) Promote the interests and well-being of The School; and
3) Aid the education The School provides to its students.
The Council serves as a formal link between the alumni and The School and its Board of Trustees.
The Alumni Executive Council meets, at a minimum, four times a year and is involved in such activities as phonathons for fundraising, selection of the Distinguished Alumnus Award and Alumni Service Award, and participation in various Haverford School alumni events such as The Athletic Hall of Fame, EA Day, and Alumni Weekend.
