AMICOS in North America will focus its energy, services, and programs to foster a community of alumni, friends, scholars, staff, and students who are well-informed through Association publications and other media as available; who respect the priorities and issues inherent in their associations; and who seek to support the college through the commitment of resources, leadership, expertise, volunteer involvement and the celebration of people and places. The Association shall endeavor to be ever creative, always innovative and a wise guardian of traditions, while it seeks to recognize emerging opportunities and changing perspectives.
