Our chapter's goal is to keep the spirit of JMU alive in Richmond.
We strive to hold a variety of events that cater to everyone from those who have just graduated to those who are retired. Through our events, we want to continue to support JMU, as well as provide fun opportunities for our Richmond area alumni to get to know each other, or renew old JMU friendships. Please come to one of our monthly meetings or upcoming events and find out how to get involved.
Without you, there is no Alumni Association
____________________________________________________________________________
Monthly Chapter Meetings - Each monthly meeting will be on the first or second Tuesday of every month (except holidays or otherwise noted) from 6:30-7:30 pm.
*NEXT MEETING: Tuesday, Oct. 13th at Pronto Italian Restaurant (5625 W. Broad St)
Our meetings are typically divided into 2 distinct parts. The first half-hour includes an update from our chapter President, David Burns. The first half of the meeting is a great opportunity YOU to come and "pitch" an idea to the chapter, whether it be for a social event, fundraising, or whatever! We are open to hearing about new and interesting ideas, and will try our best to incorporate them into our plans.
Following the update, we usually break-up into committee groups (Service, Fundraising/Scholarship, Social, and Networking) and begin to focus on specific ongoing and future projects within each group. Leaders of each group will guide these discussions.
We love to see new faces, so please join us and get involved!
