The JMC Alumni Association is managed by a board of directors. The board is composed of alumni leaders who are selected to represent the larger James Madison College alumni population. They provide oversight and strategic planning of association matters. The board is the primary communication link with the college on behalf of the alumni and meets four to five times annually. One meeting annually is planned for in-person in East Lansing and the others are held via video conference.
Beginning Spring 2024, the following members will serve one- to three-year terms.
