What is the Alumni Council?
The Alumni Council was founded in 1946 and is the governing body of the Andover-Abbot Alumni Association. The Council seeks to promote beneficial relations, especially by serving as a liaison between alumni and the Academy and by strengthening connections among alumni.
The Council includes approximately 140 members serving four-year terms. Each year 30-40 new members are appointed to replace those who complete their service. The new members are approved by the Executive Committee of the Council, acting upon a slate submitted by its Nominating Committee. Upon agreeing to serve, each new member is asked to join one of the Council’s eight standing committees.
“Alumni Council is about fellowship, identity, stewardship, do[ing], and ambassadorship. We have a responsibility to continue building the foundation started at Andover.”
