An Auburn Club is an entity of Auburn people – alumni and friends – whose bond is Auburn University. The essence of that unifying spirit exists whether the club is located in Montgomery, Alabama or hundreds of miles away in Washington, DC, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, or Los Angeles. There are currently over 100 Auburn Clubs across the country, composing the largest club network in the SEC. The Auburn Alumni Association, Incorporated, provides Auburn people the framework and mechanism to help achieve common objectives through the establishment of Auburn Clubs. As stated in the by-laws, “The Association shall organize, coordinate, promote and support local Auburn Clubs, to provide a medium through which the individual members of the Association and loyal friends of Auburn can contribute to the objectives and purposes of the Association.” To this end, the Auburn Alumni Association has established the Auburn Club Program. The Auburn Club Program works in accordance to the 10 COMMANDMENTS FOR AUBURN CLUBS. The 10 commandments are the requirements to establish and maintain a club charter. Auburn Club meetings are under the sponsorship of the Auburn Alumni Association, the organization concerned with the welfare of all University departments, programs and activities. Club meetings are general in nature, not fundraising meetings. The goals of an Auburn Club meeting are to provide a social atmosphere where alumni away from the University can gather together to renew old acquaintances, make new Auburn friends in their community, and be brought up-to-date on all aspects of campus progress, including students, faculty, athletics and campus growth. A successful club meeting is one where those in attendance leave with a better knowledge of Auburn enhanced by renewed pride and interest to support the association’s commitment to Auburn University.
