Board Member Application
Thank you for your interest in joining the Board of Directors of the MMHS Alumni Association! The Board strives to maintain a balance between having fun and getting things done, all while building a lasting legacy for all Mira Mesa High School alumni. We look forward to speaking with you about how you can help!
Join TodayThe MMHS Alumni Association is governed by a Board of Directors. Director positions are voted upon by the existing board each December, with the new board taking over management of the association in January. From time to time, there may be director positions that are vacated or become available prior to our annual Board of Directors vote. In such instances, approved directors serve in an ‘Interim’ role, until that director position can be filled in December.
It is the Board of Directors responsiblity to develop, implement and guide the association towards achieving it’s charter and developing a foundation that can be improved upon by each new installment of directors. In exchange for their service to the association, each member of the Board of Directors receives a small stipend (based solely on membership), has their membership dues waived during their tenure, and is not charged a ticket price to attend any association sanctioned events.
Board Members are required to attend our monthly board meetings, held on campus at MMHS. Each board member shall report to the board the status of their specific responsibilities, as well as participate in any board discussions and/or votes. If you are interested in serving as any of the Board of Directors positions listed on this page, please complete the Board Member Application on this page.
