Human Ecology Young Alumni Council

The president works closely with a staff member from the HEAA&D office, including regular conference calls and leads the HEYA Council Executive Board which has monthly calls. The president is responsible for periodic communications with Human Ecology young alumni collectively and individually. The president will be asked to give reports to the Dean's AC, the HEAA Board, as well as speak to other alumni and student groups.

Strong leadership qualities and excellent meeting facilitation are expected of the president. The president is expected to encourage both individual and collective activity from council members. By managing expectations, maintains a balanced activity level of relevant and meaningful council programs that can be effectively run and have measurable outcomes. The HEYA Council president has a representative seat on the HE Dean's Advisory Council which meets twice a year, once in NYC and once in Ithaca.
