DCC Alumni Council Officers

The first official Alumni Council was constituted on July 14, 2008, with members serving one to three year terms. Council members may be reelected to serve consecutive terms.

At the beginning of the Alumni Council meeting, the full council was officially installed with memberships staggered over a three-year period according to the bylaws. Council members can be reelected to the council when their terms expire.
