Thank you for your interest in becoming a member of the GGC Alumni Association Board!
Serving on a non-profit board and working together as volunteers can be a very rewarding experience and we’re so glad that you’re interested in giving back to GGC with your time and talents! The GGC alumni association exists to make a positive difference in the lives of current and future alumni by offering excellent programming focused on post-graduation support, network-building, service, and leadership. Members of the alumni association board must “own” this mission. That means committing to understand it, believe in it, and promote it, as well as (and perhaps most important) doing the necessary work to support our mission.
The GGC Alumni Board can only be effective when it has the full benefit of its members’ expertise, so members should plan to attend every board meeting either in person or virtually and to participate in most if not all programming and activities with a leadership level of engagement and involvement. Together we can cultivate an encouraging and supportive organization that grows our alumni community, keeps us connected, offers meaningful resources, and encourages others to join us in supporting these programs.
To be eligible to apply to the Alumni Board, alumni must have graduated in May 2021 or prior. The newly elected members will begin their term on July 1, 2022.
Requirements of a GGC Alumni Board member include:
- Commit to serving a two (2) year board term
- Attending and actively participating in GGC Alumni Board meetings
- Actively participating as a member of a committee
