About Maritime College Alumni Association

An independent 501(c)3 non-profit organization, the Maritime College Alumni Association (MCAA) was founded in 1903 with the mission of bringing together the community of graduates from Fort Schuyler/SUNY Maritime College. The MCAA provides alumni with a vehicle for expanding their personal and professional networks, and has been disbursing financial and career support to current students for over 118 years. The College, established in 1874 under the name of the New York Nautical School, and later became SUNY Maritime College, is the oldest and largest maritime college in the nation.”

Fellow Alumni,
It is time again for nominations for the Board of Directors. This year we are making a few important changes. We are looking to improve the nominations process as we continue to find new ways to engage Alumni.
There are two ways to get engaged

  2. Join the board learn what goes on and grow with us
The following positions are open for nominations. These positions require one year of board service to be eligible, per the bylaws
  • President
  • First Vice President
  • Treasurer
These positions do not require prior board service
  • Second Vice President
  • Assistant Treasurer
  • Secretary
  • (3) positions on the Board Directors
Below is a summary of the nominating process and timeline:
You may nominate yourself or another MCAA member. There are two ways to submit a nomination.
1.) Complete the Survey Monkey form (linked below) and include the nominee’s personal information, position sought, bio and headshot. Nominations submitted via the online form must secure 15 MCAA members in good standing who will submit an email to elections@maritimecollegeAA.org stating that they support the nomination.
