Flewellen’s duties as VPO include presiding in the absence of the president and past president as well as ensuring a constructive working relationship among the members and the Board of Directors.

“I’m looking forward giving back to Chapman by helping improve the communication and, ultimately, the sense of community between alumni and the university,” said Elizondo, who is now serving as the CUAA vice president of communications (VPC).
