Alumni Leadership Assembly

February 24-25, 2023 – In-person and Virtual

Alumni Leadership Assembly (ALA) is the University of Georgia’s annual gathering of UGA Alumni Association chapter leaders, affinity group council members, and board members. Passionate alumni and friends who lead UGA’s 3 affinity councils and more than 85 alumni chapters return to the Classic City or join online for a weekend packed with opportunities to explore how UGA has grown since graduation, to gain the knowledge and tools to effectively lead alumni chapters and affinity groups in support of the university’s mission, and to connect with fellow alumni volunteers to exchange best practices. In 2022, we’re holding this event with both in-person and virtual attendance options.

Two chapter leaders per chapter (designated by chapter president) may attend in person; all affinity council members may attend in person. Should more than 2 chapter leaders need to attend, a waiting list will be created in partnership with your staff liaison. Please consider recommending new members of your chapter board and/or chapter leaders who want to change roles/take on new responsibilities. Registration per chapter will be reviewed by staff, who will be in touch to confirm all attendees. Please do not book any travel until attendance is confirmed by our staff.
