The new association was started because a group of “like minded” alumni saw a new vision in providing financial support for the University and in the recruitment and reclamation of alumni.

The association at this point will have no member clubs.  Alumni may organize as an independent club. The association will assist the club in its organizing efforts if requested including but not limited to drafting its Bylaws, registering with the applicable state agency, and obtaining its own tax-exempt status. In addition, the association will assist the club in filing its annual tax returns.

All graduates, persons who attended the University, current or former member of the Tuskegee University faculty or staff and interested friends and family of Regular members who demonstrate their financial and moral support to Tuskegee University.

The association does not prohibit its membership from being a member of both associations

The main difference is that the membership has a direct line of communication to the Board because the association does not have regions or clubs. Secondly, officers can only serve two three-year terms in each position with the exception be the Chairman of the Board, who can only serve two three terms and will become ineligible to seek another elected position on the Board.

The annual dues are $41.50 based on a calendar year.  Members will have the option of paying online through the website or mailing a check to the association.
