Working together to build the future

The York University Alumni Board (YUAB) consults with the University’s president and University Advancement on a range of issues, ideas and plans. We provide strategic advice, counsel, philanthropic engagement and network-building to enhance York’s reputation, encourage giving, and increase student engagement.

“Here at York, we have a global network of engaged, enthusiastic alumni. And as some of our most valuable community members, we want them to participate in and help shape our future.”

Julie Lafford, Assistant Vice President, Alumni Engagement

Current YUAB Members

The YUAB has up to 18 members with diverse backgrounds and careers. Members have two-year terms, and we meet up to four times per year and participate in subcommittees.
