Resolution Authorizing Dr. Koffi C. Akakpo to Negotiate and Sign MOU with the KSUNAA
The Kentucky State University National Alumni Association (KSUNAA) plays a vital role in fostering alumni engagement, promoting the legacy and achievements of Kentucky State University (KSU), and supporting the University's mission through outreach, advocacy, and fundraising efforts.
To strengthen the working relationship between the University and KSUNAA, and to ensure greater alignment and clarity of roles, responsibilities, and expectations, both parties have expressed a desire to formalize their collaboration through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).
The MOU will outline areas of mutual support and cooperation, including but not limited to:
Coordinated alumni engagement strategies
Event planning and promotion
Communication protocols
Fundraising coordination and transparency
Data sharing, as appropriate and compliant with applicable laws and policies
This agreement is expected to foster greater trust, collaboration, and shared purpose between the University and its alumni community.
The MOU with the KSUNAA must be approved by the entire KSUNAA membership at their upcoming Homecoming General Assembly Meeting in October 2025.
Once the MOU is entered into, it will be shared at the next scheduled Board of Regents Meeting.
Any additional resources allocated for the Office of Institutional Advancement and External Relations for the relationship with the KSUNAA will be shared with the Board of Regents and will be included in the annual budget.
