Recently we were talking to a few other locals in the region and they mentioned having an alumni association. We thought that would be a great idea to keep the alumni active and help take some event planning off our shoulders. Were not exactly sure how to go about starting this and were looking for advice.

Have you searched on the Internet (as well as this forum) for information?
As other posters have stated, you are seriously misinformed about the function of alumnae associations. I am an advisor for a college chapter and my position is to advise, not to tell the actives what to do. It is their chapter and their responsibility to plan and execute events successfully. I wouldn't dream of planning their events. It's not my chapter, it's theirs!

Oh, I get it now.
Something about your remarks is directing me to get some popcorn and a soda and find a comfy seat.
