Advancement Society
FORMERLY KNOWN AS THE ASSOCIATION OF ALUMNI & FRIENDS OF NACURH
“SUPPORTING STUDENT LEADERS” In January, 1982, the NACURH Board of Directors (NBD) approved a resolution authorizing a NACURH alumni association known as “Alumni and Friends of NACURH” of AAFN. In a nutshell, for a minimum contribution of $100 to a NACURH Reserve Fund which was established, any individual could join the association. Contributions to the association were not to be spent, however, interest revenue generated from this reserve fund was available for current needs of NACURH. It was anticipated that the interest money would be ultimately used for leadership development and recognition scholarships once the initial membership goal was realized. The primary benefit to any individual who joined was recognized for their support. The individual’s name, institutions of choice, and year of personal significance was published as part of the annual conference program booklet along with recognition at the annual conference closing awards banquet each year. It was anticipated that this will generate symbolic as well as actual support of NACURH by individuals who were active in NACURH of from professionals who were active as advisors but are no longer able to attend our annual conference. Members of AAFN have a standing invite to attend the annual conference and be recognized. An initial goal for the program was 120 members to be established in anticipation that a modest return on investment of these funds would yield additional organization income of roughly $100 per month. In 1987, the program reach its initial goal at the annual conference at Central Michigan University with 133 members inducted. Although the initial membership was realized in 1987, the association has continued to grow. In 1998, at the annual conference hosted by the University of Nebraska - Lincoln the inducted membership surpassed 500 inductees. As NACURH, continued to grow so did AAFN with the inductees surpassing 1000 at the annual conference in 2006 hosted by the University of California - Berkeley. As times continued to change so did the needs of NACURH and AAFN. In 2015 as part of the NACURH Strategic Planning process the NACURH sought to transition the purpose of AAFN to serve the future of NACURH. Through this NACURH wanted to develop more scholarship and grant opportunities for individuals and member schools. To do so their was a need to expand the program, establish the purpose and processes behind it. At the 2016 Semi-Annual Business Meeting at the University of Delaware the NACURH Executive Team, led by Jacob Crosetto, NAF presented changes to to transform AAFN into The Advancement Society of NACURH. They honed the purpose of the Advancement Society to establish and recognize those who make individual monetary contributions to NACURH, Inc., providing an avenue to recognize others for their leadership in NACURH by donating on their behalf and generating interest money to support NACURH leadership development, recognition, scholarships, grants, honorariums and general financial support. Keeping with tradition, the Advancement Society collects the individual’s name, institution(s) of choice, and year of personal significance for donations of $100 or more and publishes them in the annual conference booklet as well as on the NACURH website. Additional levels of support were created as part of this transformation.
