What’s next for Auburn Adventist Academy Alumni Association? 

It’s hard to believe that it is 2024 already! Time is moving so quickly! Remember when we thought all our computers were possibly going to fail when the date turned 01/01/2000? That was 24 years ago! Speaking of time passing, our Alumni Association Board has been looking at what’s next for our Alumni Association and, in the Fall of 2021, we began creating more structure for the Association, which includes written job descriptions for the positions on the Board, establishing bylaws, and adding positions to the Board for a stronger and broader representation.  Please stay tuned for more information; in the meantime, should you have any questions, please contact Alumni Association President, Amanda Eldevik at amanda.eldevik@gmail.com.
