| The Alumni Association exists to promote among alumni a sustained loyalty to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and to promote a continual loyalty to and support of Johnson Bible College. The association strives to maintain a spirit of mutual encouragement and helpfulness among its members. |
| In fulfilling its purpose the Alumni Association engages in the following activities: |
| • |
Planning and Promoting Homecoming |
|
Each year Johnson Bible College hosts the JBC Homecoming and Preaching Rally. The Alumni Association officers have the responsibility of developing the theme, planning the program and securing the speakers for main sessions and workshops during this event. A major portion of the expense of the Johnson Bible College Homecoming/Preaching Rally is paid by the Alumni Association. |
| • |
Electing the Council of Seventy |
|
The Council of Seventy is elected from among alumni association members to provide counsel to the trustees, faculty and president of Johnson Bible College and is responsible for nominating the trustees of Johnson Bible College. Members of this council become personal representatives of the College to recruit students, encourage financial support, and rally the support of all alumni for the College. |
| • |
Selecting Distinguished Servants |
|
Each year one to three persons or couples are nominated by an Honors Committee to receive the Distinguished Service Award from the Alumni Association of JBC. Those selected are people of exceptional commitment and integrity who have demonstrated extraordinary service in work related to the purpose of Johnson Bible College or given outstanding service to JBC. |
| • |
Selecting Honorary Alumni |
|
Each year a number of people who have demonstrated a long term interest in Johnson Bible College through their prayers and gifts are elected as Honorary Alumni by the Alumni Association. |
| • |
Maintaining the Voting Membership |
|
The alumni association voting members are those alumni who have paid their current annual alumni dues. The dues are $20 per person; $30 per couple. Retired alumni pay only $15 per person or $20 per couple. Reminders are sent to all alumni at least two times a year. |
| • |
Encouraging Graduating Classes |
|
The Alumni Association assists and encourages each graduating class to actively participate in the association. The Alumni Association encourages graduating classes to establish a permanent scholarship fund in their class name and matches whatever gift the class gives, thus doubling the amount in their fund. The Alumni Association also pays the membership dues for the graduating seniors for the first year, making them eligible to vote and be nominated for the Council of Seventy. |
| • |
Supporting JBC Capital Campaigns |
|
The Alumni Association gives generously each year to the current capital campaigns conducted by Johnson Bible College. The capital campaigns pay for major constructions, fund new academic programs, and increase permanent funds. |
| • |
Printing Alumni News |
|
A portion of the cost of printing and distributing the BLUE AND WHITE is paid by the Alumni Association. As news and announcements of alumni happenings are sent in to the office of Alumni Relations they are compiled and printed in the BLUE AND WHITE. |
