Welcome LSM Alumni!
You have a lasting connection to LSM. Each year, alumni reconnect to their transformational LSM experiences by nominating students, donating, volunteering, attending regional events and the summer alumni gathering, and sharing their music and stories with the LSM community.
We welcome your participation and there are so many ways to get involved. Read below for all of our current initiatives and join us where you feel inspired.
Meet Alumni Director, Eric Sayre
I am thrilled to serve LSM through the important role of Alumni & External Relations Director. As an alum myself (LSM 2004-2005), I know firsthand the transformational power of our community and I strongly value the significant role it can continue to serve in our lives. I am hopeful to amplify the many passionate and diverse voices across our alumni network while working to strengthen our service to our current and future students. I invite you to reach out to me at any time. I love being a part of this community and would relish the opportunity to connect with all of you.

Advisory Council Task Forces
The LSM Advisory Council's purpose is to:
provide advocacy and support for the mission of LSM
support LSM operations and initiatives through specific Task Forces
advise the Board of Directors
The Advisory Council forms task forces to work on specific projects or initiatives. Task forces are open to all LSM alumni, and we’re always looking for volunteers to serve on current or future task forces. To join a task force, contact LSM Alumni Manager Eric Sayre.
Current Task Forces:
Congregation Engagement: grow LSM connections with congregations around the country. In 2021, this task force led a nationwide LSM Sunday initiative.
Alumni Engagement: plan and execute alumni engagement initiatives, including virtual and in-person events, and help create meaningful ways to continue life-long involvement for LSM alumni
Development/Fundraising: partner with staff on creative fundraising initiatives, and help thank people who already support LSM
Recruitment/Admissions: help connect with potential “LSM Recommenders” (such as church musicians, teachers, youth directors, LSM alumni, etc.) to encourage student nominations and serve as ambassadors to prospective students and families
