The goal of ND Women Connect is to support and inspire each other to live the most fulfilling lives possible and their mission is to provide Notre Dame alumnae the opportunity to:

• Connect – by encouraging personal and professional relationships;
• Nurture – by fostering personal, spiritual, and professional growth; and
• Give back – by helping us make valuable contributions to Notre Dame, our communities, and to causes that inspire us.

The ND Women Connect initiative is administered by a rotating national board of alumnae each of whom is active in her own local NDWC group. NDWC is an alumni affinity group recognized by the Notre Dame Alumni Association.

The Notre Dame Senior Alumni Group, composed of alumni and friends aged 60 and over, aims to help senior members of the Notre Dame community engage in programming that fosters friendships, camaraderie, and service to each other and surrounding communities. Notre Dame Senior Alumni assists alumni clubs and class leaders in developing events, activities, and programs of special interest to seniors, but open to all alumni and friends. For more information and to get involved with NDSA, please visit their website.

The NDSA Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing and managing NDSA activities. The Board consists of an Executive Team and Directors representing each of the geographical regions of the Alumni Association in the United States and parts of Canada. The Regional Directors work with the clubs in their regions to promote volunteerism and to encourage the implementation of NDSA programs.

All alumni clubs and appropriate classes (alumni aged 60+) are encouraged to appoint a Senior Alumni Coordinator who is responsible for planning, implementing, and coordinating programs which engage senior alumni. The Coordinators regularly communicate with members of the NDSA Board of Directors.
