Elected officer positions include President, Vice President, Treasurer, Financial Secretary, and Secretary. Two four-year Alumni Trustee positions are also open. All positions serve on the Alumni Council, the all-volunteer governing body that advises and guides the Alumni Association of Lincoln University, PA on programs and initiatives and helps shape and influence the policies and direction of the Alumni Association. 

Alumni Association members who wish to serve may either self-nominate for any open position or be nominated by another financial member.
