The 4-H House Alumni Association Board was organized to strengthen and maintain the bonds of friendship, develop the spirit of unity of its members, promote scholastic interest, provide social opportunities, and maintain a wholesome home at minimum cost for the women who reside in 4-H House and are attending the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign campus. 
 
The Association is dedicated to the core values of Illinois 4-H House. The relationship between the Association and 4-H House is collaborative, with the purpose of promoting and preserving a cooperative living environment with the core values above at its center. The Association, represented by a 12-member Board, works closely with the 4-H House Executive Council to review all changes in the 4-H House Constitution, Bylaws, Judicial Board and all other Rules and Policies. 
 
The 4-H House Cooperative Sorority is self-governing. The Association ensures the self-governing system is running smoothly, and another aspect of the relationship between the Association and 4-H House is that of landlord/tenant. The 4-H House property is owned by the alumni of 4-H House, the Illinois 4-H House Association. The cooperative unit, 4-H House, leases this property from the Association. As such, the Association is responsible for any and all physical and structural changes to the house and property. The Association budget is managed with a goal of break-even and careful savings towards a strategic project plan created by a Property Committee comprised of alumni and friends of 4-H House. We rely on alumni contributions and rental income to build any reserves necessary for future projects – both foreseen and unforeseen. 
 
Members of the Association include 4-H House active members and alumni. The Annual Meeting of the Association is typically held in the fall each year. Regular board meetings are held in Champaign-Urbana or virtually to conduct the business of the Association. Most meetings are held in conjunction with a 4-H House activity to give the Association Board and the women of 4-H House opportunities to interact together.
