#  07. What is the role of the Elected Directors of the Harvard Alumni Association? 

 



 The [HAA Board of Directors](http://alumni.harvard.edu/haa/about/board) empowers volunteers to strengthen the Harvard alumni community. Eighteen directors are elected by the alumni as their “at-large” representatives. Other directors are appointed to represent a specific region, class or alumni organization. Elected Directors provide leadership for the HAA and its various committees, a capacity often demonstrated by a record of service to Harvard and an ability to communicate widely and effectively with other alumni.
