Elected officer positions include President, Vice-President, Treasurer, and Secretary. There are also two four-year Alumni Trustee positions open. All positions serve on the Alumni Council, which is the all-volunteer governing body that advises and guides the Alumni Association of Lincoln University, PA on programs and initiatives, and helps to shape and influence the policies and direction of the Alumni Association. 

Alumni Association members who would like to serve may nominate themselves to be a candidate for any open position or be nominated by another financial member. The AALU Nominations & Elections Committee will review nominations and select and report a slate of candidates at the October 2024 Alumni Council and General Body Meetings. The election will take place in March 2025.
