Membership on the committee includes the chair, who also serves as a member of the College's Development Committee, and committee members who help oversee the work of the Colby Fund volunteers.

Class Agents More than 600 Colby Fund volunteers are asked by the College to help raise gifts from their fellow classmates each fiscal year. Approximately half, or 300, work exclusively for either their reunion or anniversary gift programs. Class agents are the principal Colby Fund volunteers for their classes, and Colby has begun to rely more and more on its volunteer corps in the solicitation process. Success in meeting both the dollar and participation goals each year, as well as the overall campaign goal, is based upon the volunteers' work in reaching out to fellow classmates and alumni.
