Kilgore currently serves Baylor as university host, a position he has held for the last six years. Previously, he worked for three years as assistant director for development, programs and marketing for the Baylor Alumni Association.
Kilgore will serve as the chief executive officer of the Baylor Alumni Association, a non-profit organization founded in 1859 to support the interests of Baylor and its alumni.
Serving more than 100,000 living Baylor graduates around the world, the group publishes the national award-winning Baylor Line magazine, hosts such events as Homecoming reunions and Heritage Club, and recognizes alumni achievement through the Distinguished Alumni Award and other honors.
Kilgore and his wife, Stephanie, have two sons, Luke and John Patrick.
Jeff has demonstrated through his professional experience an ability to effectively manage programs and lead an organization similar in size and function to the alumni association,” said David Malone, who led the search committee.
”The search committee was drawn to Jeff because of his strong belief in and commitment to an independent alumni association as well as the breadth and depth of his existing relationships with alumni, regents, faculty, staff and administration of Baylor University, and his unbridled energy and enthusiasm.”
“I am very pleased with the appointment of Jeff Kilgore as executive vice president of the Baylor Alumni Association,” said Baylor President Robert Sloan. “Jeff's prior experience with the association and, more recently, his work with the university, uniquely equip him to serve in this strategic leadership position. I look forward to working with Jeff and the rest of the Alumni Association leadership as we jointly seek to serve the needs of Baylor alumni around the world.”
