The Association of Private College and University Alumni Directors was founded so as to provide its members a forum to share and benchmark information that can improve each institution's alumni programs; to provide professional support to one another; and to serve the advancement profession by doing and sharing research with the profession, enabling staffs to share information with their functional colleagues among our institutions, and supporting the creation of other similar groups.
