Alumni Association Constitution and By-laws

The BCIT Alumni Association board of directors is key to the Association's mandate and activities. Volunteers elected to the board make decisions about services that help students and graduates make the most of their education and careers. The board works hard to establish contacts and business links that benefit BCIT, students and alumni.

The board is composed of a President, Past-President and up to 11 elected (voting) and 4 appointed (non-voting) directors. Board directors hold a renewable one-, two-, or three-year term and are elected or appointed at the Annual General Meeting. Contact Us to find out more about the Board of Directors, to join a standing committee, or to get more involved in the Alumni Association.
