The Legislative Relations Committee of the Alumni Association is a group composed of Association board members who meet once a month to recruit new advocates and to find ways to help advocates reach out to their legislators to let them know of the University's funding needs. Please feel free to contact any members of the committee to voice your ideas, concerns, or requests.
Advocates are alumni volunteers in districts throughout Utah.
Information about important issues affecting the University is given to more than 300 alumni advocates before the legislative session. The advocates then call, write, visit, or e-mail their legislators about those issues. There are Internet sites that contain maps to help you find the senator and representative in your district. In fact, legislators may be much more accessible when they are not in session.
