Clemson Alumni Board Officer Application Form
Clemson Alumni Association Officer Nomination Information
The Officers of the Clemson Alumni Association are the President, President-Elect, and Immediate Past President. Each of these capacities carries with it a two-year term that commences on July 1, following the election of a President-Elect. As such, the cumulative commitment of service for an Officer is six years, from the commencement of duties as President-Elect to the completion of a term as Immediate Past President.
The duties of the officers of the Alumni Association are generally as follows:
- President–The President is the presiding officer and chief ambassador of the Alumni Association, and serves as Chair for all meetings of the Association, Council, Board of Directors, and Executive Committee; appoints the standing committees and any special committees deemed appropriate; serves as a member of the Clemson Foundation Board; serves as a member of the IPTAY Board of Directors; appoints the Alumni Association’s representative to the Athletic Council; appoints at-large representatives to the Alumni Council; serves as an ex-officio member of all committees and each Clemson Club and Alumni Constituency group; performs all duties and responsibilities generally assigned to the office of President.
- President-Elect–The President-Elect shall, in the absence or at the request of the President, carry out the duties of the President; serves as Chair of the Honors and Awards Committee; serves as a member of the Clemson Foundation Board.
- Immediate Past President–The Immediate Past President shall serve in whatever capacity is deemed appropriate by the President, and serves as the Chair of the Nominating Committee.
While each of these leadership positions consists of responsibilities critical to the success of the Association, it should come as no surprise that the role of President is chief in terms of importance and time commitment. It is estimated that this individual will – on average – spend 10 hours/week engaged in official Alumni Association business and initiatives. Some weeks could require up to 20 or more hours of a time commitment, especially during the scheduled meetings of the various University leadership boards (Alumni Association, Foundation, and IPTAY). The ability to travel regularly to campus, as well as to attend other Association events off-campus, is required of the President.
It is equally important to note that the role of Officer is a volunteer position. Travel expenditures, as well as lodging and related accommodations, for Association-related activities are the responsibility of the Officer.
An interest/nomination form is can be found by clicking here. This form should be used to submit the name and supporting information for any candidate. For best consideration, candidates should submit up to three accompanying letters of support. Letters can be attached to the form via the supporting documents field.
Each nomination will be forwarded to the Nominating Committee, to be reviewed and screened by its membership. The Nominating Committee will present its recommendations of qualified candidates to the Alumni Board of Directors, and the election of new Directors will take place during the Board of Directors meeting in the Spring in Clemson.

Sydney Tindall Named to Clemson Alumni Association Board of Directors
The Clemson Alumni Association has named Sydney Tindall of Charleston, South Carolina, to its Board of Directors.
Tindall graduated summa cum laude from Clemson University in 2021 with a Bachelor of Arts in Chinese and International
Business and a minor in Nonprofit Leadership. During her time at Clemson, she was deeply involved in student leadership and service, serving as Chapter President of Kappa Delta Sorority, Director of Tigerama through Blue Key Honor Society, Co-Chair of the Welcome Back Festival with the Student Alumni Council, and a campus tour guide with the Clemson University Guide Association.
Professionally, Tindall is a Senior Account Executive at Blackbaud, a leading software company powering social good across the for-profit and non-profit sectors. Her experience with employee engagement, corporate social responsibility, corporate partnerships, and social impact brings a valuable perspective to the board.
Tindall has remained actively engaged with Clemson since graduation, serving as Vice President of the Dallas-Fort Worth Clemson Club, Area Representative for the Clemson Young Alumni Council in both Dallas and Charleston, and volunteering with First Tee of Greater Charleston. Her dedication to service and leadership has earned her numerous accolades, including the Corre Anding Stegall Collegiate Leadership Award and the Clemson Chinese Best Achievement Award.
With a strong belief in lifelong connection to Clemson, Tindall is committed to fostering alumni engagement and ensuring that the Clemson spirit continues to thrive across generations – just as she’s benefited from throughout her life.
“With immense gratitude and sincere humility, I am thrilled to serve on the Clemson Alumni Association Board of Directors”, said Tindall. “Clemson is unique in that your time connected to the University is not just in your years of education but is a lifelong passion for engagement and sense of belonging. To serve the alumni body that makes up our strong Clemson Family and the organization that so proudly stewards this profound legacy is one of my greatest honors.”
The alumni board has 22 members and is the governing body for the Clemson Alumni Association. Primary responsibilities of the board include general oversight of the programs and initiatives of the association, financial audit and review, the establishment of governing policies and strategic planning.
The Clemson Alumni Association is an open-membership, nonprofit organization. Since its inception in 1896, the program has connected members of the Clemson family, inspiring pride, celebrating achievement, providing service and strengthening relationships. Learn more at www.clemson.edu/alumni.

Devon Garber ’01 Named 2024 Volunteer of the Year
Devon Garber Honored with Clemson Alumni Association’s 2024 Frank Kellers III Volunteer of the Year Award
The Clemson Alumni Association is proud to announce Devon (Farrington) Garber ‘01, as the recipient of the 2024 Frank Kellers III Volunteer of the Year Award. This prestigious accolade, presented annually by the Clemson Alumni Association staff since 1988, recognizes outstanding service and volunteerism by an individual who has 
demonstrated exceptional dedication to Clemson University and its alumni community.
Devon graduated in 2001 with a Health Science degree and has spent much of her professional career in the pharmaceutical industry. She resides in Pennington, NJ, with her husband, Dave Garber ’01, and their two Iptay-sustaining Tiger Cubs, Ethan and Hannah.
Garber has a passion for event planning and networking, which she was able to combine her love for Clemson by joining the Philadelphia Clemson Club board in 2016. Garber’s innovative approach and relentless pursuit of inclusivity have been instrumental in the club’s success. During her tenure, she has spearheaded initiatives such as The Adopt-a-Highway clean-up (2 miles of Kelly Drive leading up to the Rocky steps) and the New Student Send-off party, which this past year welcomed over 40 soon-to-be Clemson students and nearly 100 guests from the DE, PA and NJ areas. Her efforts have ensured that all current and future Clemson alumni in the area feel included and valued and have an outlet to show support to their community and to their alma mater.
Under her guidance as president last year, the club hosted numerous successful events, including the Young Alumni Welcome to the City event, the club’s Annual Golf Tournament & Silent Auction Dinner, which raised over $7,000, and the Bethesda Project sock collection, which gathered over 2,000 pairs of new socks for those experiencing homelessness. Additionally, the Clemson Day at The Phillies event sold out a 75-ticket block, showcasing the club’s ability to engage the Clemson community in Philadelphia. Her ability to think creatively and inspire her board to explore new ideas has significantly contributed to the club’s growth and engagement.
The Frank Kellers III Volunteer of the Year Award is named in honor of the late Frank Kellers III, a member of Clemson’s Class of 1957. This award is the highest recognition extended by the Alumni Association staff, celebrating individuals who have shown a passion for service and building the Clemson family.
The Clemson Alumni Association, an open-membership, nonprofit organization since its inception in 1896, connects members of the more than 189,000-strong Clemson family. The association inspires pride, celebrates achievement, provides service, and strengthens relationships with Clemson University and each other.
