What role do alumni serve within the AAS framework?

Alumni play a crucial role in the Arnold Air Society (AAS) framework by providing mentorship and support to current members. This relationship is fundamental because alumni bring a wealth of experience and knowledge gained from their time in AAS and their subsequent careers. By offering guidance, sharing insights about leadership challenges, and providing networking opportunities, alumni help current members navigate their own experiences more effectively. This mentorship not only enhances the development of individual members but also strengthens the overall fabric of the organization.

While organizing events, overseeing financial transactions, and handling public relations are important functions within AAS, they are typically executed by different operational units or active members rather than alumni. This distinction underscores the unique and supportive nature of the alumni's contribution to fostering growth among current members.
