Anna, It sounds like you've thought through some of your issues in setting up an Alumni Association. Let me comment on a couple of the ones you mentioned. Most institutions use an Alumni Website as their main method of building and maintaining a relationship with their graduates. If you think in those terms, then having students in other states is not an issue and, frankly, in today's world our students find us if we have a website for them to go to. We don't even need to spend a lot of time and money finding them, they actually come to us via the internet. If we provide a place on that alumni website for them to update their information, it allows us to keep in touch with them. June June
