Clement Wee, alumni and newly appointed Vice President of TWU Alumni and Families, looks forward to greater partnership with the University’s 30,000-strong alumni community, by leveraging this new approach for amplifying alumni contribution at the Board level.
“For the past number of years there has been an invaluable alumni seat at the Board of Governors,” Wee said. “That will continue—and, in fact, be expanded—by providing an opportunity for a broader representation of alumni voices to be heard.”
Representation on the Board of Governors will be selected from the Alumni Board of Ambassadors to ensure the voice of alumni at the University’s highest leadership and governance table. The appointed Alumni Board of Ambassadors will work closely with TWU Alumni and Families to encourage lifelong relations with present and future alumni.
TWU is deeply committed to helping alumni to develop a deep love for the institution that has played a positive and transformational role in their lives. We do this by helping alumni celebrate memories, contribute valuable perspectives, and support the University in its continued growth and development. The flourishing of the University enhances the value of a TWU degree, a distinction which graduates have worked so hard to achieve.
TWU Alumni are a treasured constituency of the University. The University is seeking nominations for the Alumni Board of Ambassadors. Ideal candidates are TWU graduates of outstanding character, vibrant faith, and who possess strong desire to champion the work of the TWU Alumni and Families Office in its care, nurture, and service to the alumni community. Please contact alumni@twu.ca with your nominations.
