Alumni Association Affidavit Draft

What a good one includes

• The full legal name, contact information, and specific years of attendance of the affiant to establish personal credibility.
• A standard, solemn declaration stating that the information provided is true and correct under penalty of perjury.
• Clear, chronological facts detailing the specific graduation, voting, or administrative event the affidavit is verifying.
• Explicit references to any attached supporting documents, such as yearbooks, old graduation programs, or official meeting minutes.
• A clear statement of the affiant’s past or current role within the alumni association, establishing their direct personal knowledge of the facts.
• A standard notary jurat or acknowledgment block with appropriate space for a licensed notary public's seal and signature.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Including emotional or speculative statements instead of keeping the language strictly factual and based on first-hand knowledge.
• Signing the document before standing in the physical or electronic presence of a licensed notary public.
• Failing to clearly identify the specific purpose of the affidavit, leading to confusion during administrative or legal reviews.
• Neglecting to attach or reference supporting community records that could easily verify the claims being made.
