Our club has been founded with the intention to support the flourishing of the Erasmus University and her alumni, by fostering, strengthening and maintaining reciprocal relationships. The board ensures these goals are pursued consistently and effectively. Board members meet every two months to oversee the strategy and its progress. A couple of board members partake in the daily board, which keeps an eye on strategy execution.
Are you enthusiastic because of one of our events or because of people you’ve met, or do you have an interesting idea? If you would like to do something to support the Erasmus University and the Erasmus Alumni Club in their growth, you may be able to do so as member of the board. Please communicate your interest to eac@erasmusalumni.nl or to current board members. (Positions of board members are voluntary and members receive no financial compensation for their work.)
