Board of Governors
The Board of Governors of the Alumni Association is charged with nurturing fellowship and communication among the association's membership, providing continuing medical education programs and other activities that serve the alumni, sponsoring programs for the medical school student body, and helping to advance the mission of the College. Governors serve two-year terms and are elected at an annual meeting held on the Valhalla campus. All alumni are cordially invited to attend the annual meeting and are encouraged to seek a higher level of commitment to New York Medical College by joining the Association. Past Alumni Association presidents hold governor status in perpetuity.
