PURPOSE<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Bates Alumni should feel connected to Bates and to one another wherever they are. Regional Networks are planning committees of alumni volunteers who work together with the Bates Office of Alumni Engagement to foster the local Bates community in regions throughout the U.S. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bates Alumni Regional Networks support dynamic programming for Bates alumni, parents, students, and friends across the country. Networks offer a variety of events throughout the year to help participants meet, connect, and learn from one another on a personal and professional level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In providing enhanced personal and professional connections, as well as opportunities for lifelong learning, regional networks allow for increased alumni volunteerism and support of the college.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EXPECTATIONS OF REGIONAL NETWORKS & REGIONAL VOLUNTEERS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Membership<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

All members of the Bates community are welcome to join. Regional Network Committee members are self-selecting and take on different organizational roles. Members are expected to take on the responsibilities as outlined in the Regional Volunteer Responsibilities<\/em> section of this guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Committee Leadership<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each Bates Regional Network will have a Committee Chair for a recommended term of 3 years. The Chair should be prepared to organize and schedule network meetings, prepare meeting agendas, and act as the main liaison with Bates Office of Alumni Engagement staff. It is highly recommended to appoint a co-chair to share responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
