“The strong commitment our new board members bring to their roles is a boon for St. Bonaventure,” said Joe Flanagan, ’74, director of Alumni Services. “I am excited for the future. I also want to thank Kevin and the outgoing members for their dedication and excellent work.”

The NAAB works to encourage alumni support of the academic mission, activities, spiritual programs, Franciscan heritage and reputation of the university. It provides alumni with information and opportunities for ongoing contact, and supports the Office of Alumni Services in developing participation in the Bonaventure community.
