“We are excited to welcome these five new members and learn from their knowledge and expertise. Each board member has their own unique Wartburg experience that plays a role in how they contribute to the board. We appreciate our Alumni Board members and all they do for Wartburg and our students,” said Renee Voves, associate director of Institutional Advancement-Alumni/Parent Relations & Annual Giving.

Wartburg Alumni Board members are volunteers who represent alumni and serve as a liaison for the sharing of information between alumni and the college. The alumni board, currently led by Mike Franzman, a 2000 graduate from Bettendorf, provides advice and support to the professional staff in the office of Alumni & Parent Relations and Annual Giving. In addition, the board assists in encouraging alumni participation in the life of the college.
