The Texas Exes Local Involvement Group Mission:

• Create fun and meaningful events and activities to promote socializing and networking among local alumni and connect them to UT Austin.
• Increase membership in The Texas Exes.
• Develop alumni leaders for the Association and University.

In addition, chartered groups raise scholarships funding for awards to local high school students attending UT Austin, as an involvement activity.

To establish or renew a charter with The Texas Exes, the following forms must be completed annually by or before June 1:

• Charter Agreement - This form allows the group to apply to the Texas Exes’ Board of Directors for a charter.
• Officer Report - A minimum of four individuals in the required positions - President, President-Elect, Treasurer, Membership/Involvement Chairperson. All officers must be current dues-paying members of the Texas Exes.
• Financial Statement - This lists income sources and expense categories for the previous year; the local balance held indicates operations funding for the group and scholarship awards to be made in the upcoming academic year.
• Chapter Bylaws - Must be signed by 10 current Texas Exes members. This remains on file and is resubmitted only when amendments have been made, but all groups to be chartered need to use this document as a starting point; it establishes the "leadership year" as July 1 - June 30.

• Fax to the attention of Erin Campbell, 512/471-8096 or mail to her attention at P. O. Box 7278, Austin, TX 78713.

Chartered chapters can participate in The Texas Exes’ Scholarships program. Details and forms to do so follow.
