How about taking it a step further...
Every week or month, review the feedback obtained from the AA Tech Callers,
filter out those issues which the UA can advocate for, send a two line email
to the alum who provided the feedback saying that you're working on it via
XYZ committee, then if/when you actually effect change (or at least provide
some sort of feedback to the admins), send a followup note saying what you
did and casually noting that the UA is always happy to take donations for
itself or ASA recog'd student groups ;-).
Sounds a little complex I know, but nothing a shared Google spreadsheet
couldnt simplify for you.
