ABOUT THE CHAPTER

Thanks for stopping by the Miami-Dade Chapter of the Florida A&M University National Alumni Association!

Our Chapter’s Constitution and Bylaws
(Last Revision 05/03/2020)

The Miami-Dade Chapter of the Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University National Alumni Association is a long standing pillar of the South Florida community. The chapter is home to many city representatives, law enforcement agents, educators and business officials.

The chapter has garnered many accolades through the years and is proud to be named the first “Chapter of the Year” by the FAMU National Alumni Association. This award was also won again by the chapter in 2019! Our members have effectively served as advocates, supporters and ambassadors for the University.

Our goals include assisting in the assurance of the preservation of FAMU as a distinguished, world class institution of higher education. As a direct support organization for the University, we continue to provide financial support via various fundraising campaigns, scholarship funds and athletic programs. Notably, many chapter members also make individual contributions directly to the FAMU Boosters and FAMU Foundation.

The Miami-Dade Chapter actively recruits students from the South Florida area by maintaining a partnership with the Miami-Dade County Public Schools College Assistance Program, presenting and participating in local college fairs.

Greetings FAMUly:
