In the past year, all alums were divided into geographic regions. Each region has its own set of Board representatives, proportionate to the population of alums in that region. Click here to see a map that shows how we have divided those regions. And click here to see who your regional representatives are.
Our regional representatives will be reaching out to you with several goals in mind. It is our prayer that the ASA Board representatives will serve to facilitate those important goals of communicating, connecting, caring, and advocating on your behalf. So, be checking for periodic (don’t worry, we promise not to clutter your inbox) emails you will be receiving that will help us accomplish these tasks.
While we know that we must remain sensitive to the portion of our alumni base who are less flexible and adept in mew media, we hope that you who are or are learning will join with us in our efforts to utilize technology to help us be better connected. One of those ways is our new password-protected Portal. Earlier this fall you should have received a mailing with instructions on how to connect to ASAP - Austin Seminary's Alumni Portal.
If you have not, please go to austinseminary.edu/portal and login (upper right hand corner) using this format: Username -- first name last name two digits of first year you graduated (some of you have two degrees); Password: ALUM (case sensitive). For example, our John Doe from graduating class of 2001 would be johndoe01 and temporary password ALUM.
When you get to that point, there will be information on how you can update your info, change your password, etc. If you have any questions, please contact Lana Russell at alum@austinseminary.edu, or 512-404-4809.
There are three reasons I would suggest you update your information now:
Finally, if you have any information, questions, or concerns that you would like to share with the ASA Board or with other alums, please don’t hesitate to be in touch with me by email at lrussell@austinseminary.edu, or give me a call at 512-404-4809.
I know this season can be busy beyond measure for those who are serving so faithfully in a variety of ministries. As you labor, may God grant you an extra measure of joy. And be in touch.
Serving alongside you,
Rev. Lana Russell
