Who We Are
The ANRS (Agriculture and Natural Resource Sciences) and Rodeo Exes Association (the Association) is an independent Association, recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) public charity. Membership in the Association is open to every person with an interest in Sul Ross State University. The Association was formed in 1976.
The Association Executive Board consists of four Officers and an eight person Board of Directors. The Executive Board is elected by the general membership of the Association at the annual Reunion. Each member is elected for a two-year term, with the Directors serving staggered terms. No Executive Board member, nor any Association member, receives any compensation for their work in promoting the activities of the Association.
What do we do?
The mission of the Association is to:
Promote Sul Ross State University, the School of Agriculture and Natural Resource Sciences. and the Rodeo Program at Sul Ross State University.
Establish and maintain contact with Sul Ross State University ANRS and Rodeo Ex-students and other interested persons. To encourage prospective college students to enroll in Sul Ross State University as participants in the various ANRS and Rodeo activities.
Periodically honor and entertain the membership with a Reunion, Roping, and Golf Tournament.
Maintain charitable and educational purposes under section 501(c)(3) in providing scholarships to the ANRS Department and Rodeo Participants.
Our primary activity and outreach is an annual reunion held in Alpine, Texas to raise scholarship funds for deserving students in the Agriculture and Natural Resource Science and Rodeo programs. The 2011 annual reunion (which will be the 35th Annual Reunion) will be held on the weekend of July 29-31, 2011.
Over the weekend we offer various activities, notably a roping and golf tournament. The 2011 Reunion will also include a Hall of Fame Induction ceremony. All of the proceeds raised by the Association are utilized for scholarship purposes, and the only funds held over from the Reunion is “startup” money for the next Reunion.
Between 2001 and 2010, we have raised over $105,000 in scholarships funds for Sul Ross State University. This includes a permanent memorial scholarship fund for the continued growth and support of the programs administered by the ANRS and in support of the Rodeo Program. The account currently has a principal balance of nearly $20,000.
Following the summer Reunion, the Executive Board determines the amounts of funds to be distributed as scholarships and to the endowments, Scholarship funds are then remitted to Sul Ross State University in the established scholarship accounts. Once these monies have been remitted to SRSU, final allocation of the funds are at the sole discretion of the Dean of ANRS and the Rodeo Coach. The Association does not determine to whom the scholarships are awarded.
