Now a committee of the Association, the Alumnae Association, started by Queen's women, has a history dating back to the turn of the century. The Association is governed by a President and Board of Directors, who are drawn from a constituent assembly made up of representatives from the network of volunteers and more than 40 alumni branches. The Alumni Association President is elected to a one year term by the Assembly. The President works closely with the administrative arm of the Alumni Association, which is the Department of Alumni Affairs. Each member shall receive notices of general meetings, and shall have the right to vote and to hold office pursuant to the provisions of this Constitution.
Honorary members have the same rights and privileges as members.
