Clubs & SIGs Insider

July | 2024
Greetings!

We’re pleased to announce the appointment of new HAA Directors for several Club and SIG cohorts! Presidents with a new HAA Director were notified by email in June. HAA Directors are available to support your organization’s development and build communication and collaboration amongst the cohort.

More information on Club and SIG cohorts and their respective HAA Appointed Directors is available on Officers Lounge. Please join us in extending a warm welcome to the new HAA Directors and expressing our heartfelt thanks to the outgoing Directors for their exceptional service! Visit the Spotlight section of this newsletter for the list of outgoing Directors.

As we enter the time of year when many organizations experience leadership transitions, here are some tips for staying connected with the HAA Clubs and SIGs team and the alumni network.
  • Ensure your officers listing is up to date with the team and on your website
  • Encourage new leaders to check in with their HAA Clubs or SIGs Appointed Director and Staff Liaison
  • Read the monthly Clubs and SIGs Insider (sent out the second Thursday of the month)
  • Explore Officers Lounge for invaluable resources and complete the New Leadership Checklist
  • Consider your organization’s representation at the 2024 Alumni Leadership Conference on October 24 and 25. Registration opens in late-July.
  • Learn about a holistic approach to alumni leadership via the HAA’s new alumni president, Moitri Chowdhury Savard AB ’93
