Membership in an alumni association is equally important for both alumni and the association. It gives alumni a sense of belonging and connection while offering access to valuable resources and networking opportunities. On the other hand, the benefit that the association receives provides financial support, increases engagement in activities, and helps promote the association’s mission, ensuring its continued success and impact.
