While we strongly encourage all UMAAAC members to keep Alumni Association dues current—membership in the UMAAAC is absolutely free of charge. The organization does however depend on the strong tradition of leadership from University of Michigan alumni to thrive. An hour or two each month is all it takes. Below is a list of committees and contacts to help you get involved today.

If you have general questions or still aren't sure how you would like to get involved feel free to contact Gene Kelley, Michael Henry, or phone 734-647-9605. We're looking forward to hearing from you.
