CAAA Board Update and Nominations

On July 1, the 2017 Cal Aggie Alumni Association board of director’s cycle officially began, and CAAA welcomed four new members into the group. The newcomers join a group of actively involved alumni and friends of UC Davis with a range of backgrounds and interests, all looking forward to an exciting and productive year.  

The CAAA board of directors is a group of alumni volunteers who lead the organization in its service to UC Davis and alumni. The board meets four times per year to establish policy, develop goals and objectives, assist with long-range planning and monitor alumni association finances. Leadership provided by the board is essential to accomplish CAAA’s mission: "To enrich the lives of alumni, students, families and friends worldwide, and develop lifelong ambassadors for UC Davis.” 

The board consists of a president (Debby Stegura ’79), vice president (William Cochran ’73, Cred. ’74) and 23 directors-at-large.  

“I am excited to welcome these new members to CAAA’s board of directors,” Stegura said. “With so many changes coming to UC Davis, including our new chancellor Gary May, this is an exciting time to be part of a group of innovative leaders who want to make a difference for the Aggie community.”
