Reunion Volunteer

Reunion Volunteers are integral parts of the Alumni Weekend experience. Staff Liaisons help create a memorable reunion but it is the personal solicitation and encouragement from peers that elicits excitement around attendance and impactful giving. Whether you are a Reunion Giving Advocate, a Reunion Planning Committee member, or a combination of the two, we are deeply appreciative of the time and effort you have put into creating an enjoyable experience for yourself and your fellow classmates.

Volunteer Positions

Strong volunteer participation from alumni is a key factor toward any reunion’s success. Staff support will be available from a Reunion Planning Liaison and Reunion Giving Liaison.

Sub-committees and/or delegated roles are encouraged when there is interest in dividing the responsibilities of either committee into more discrete tasks.

Alumni - Volunteers - Reunion Roles

  • Reunion Giving Chair

    Reunion Gift Chairs serve as a primary liaison between the College and everyone who identifies with their reunion class. The Chair is responsible for encouraging classmates to celebrate the Reunion by making a gift (personal-best gifts for consistent donors) in honor of the reunion, and is supported by members of the Reunion Committee, Reunion Giving Advocates, and Haverford College staff.

    Specific responsibilities include*:
    • Maintain 15-20 alumni assignments for solicitation and stewardship with an emphasis on leadership-level gifts
    • Solicit and thank assigned donors for annual and special project gifts
    • Contribute toward broader efforts to set and achieve ambitious annual giving dollar and participation goals for the reunion
    • In partnership with College staff, identify and recruit 3-5 Reunion Giving Advocates who will be assigned 5-20 alumni assignments each
    • Advise and update the Reunion Committee on class giving goals, strategies, and progress throughout the year, and encourage peer-to-peer outreach from committee members and Reunion Giving Advocates

    Term Limits: Each Reunion Giving Chair will serve for the duration of the fiscal year of the reunion through June 30. Thereafter, serving as a Giving Advocate is encouraged.

    Reunion Committee: The Reunion Gift Chair is often considered a member of the Reunion Committee with the specific responsibilities outlined above. Participation on Reunion Committee conference calls and communications is dependent on personal preference.

    *Role may vary slightly according to Reunion year and Committee preference.
