Clubs & SIGs Insider

August | 2025

Greetings!

We’re thrilled to announce the upcoming 2025 Alumni Leadership Conference (ALC), a dedicated event for volunteers to connect, share, and learn. ALC will take place on October 22–23 on Harvard’s campus. On July 31, Club and SIG Presidents, Vice Presidents, Secretaries, and HAA Contacts received an invitation to register for the conference.

ALC brings together Club and SIG leaders from around the world to exchange best practices, share success stories, and discuss challenges. It is also a fantastic opportunity to engage with fellow volunteers and make friends! As space is limited, Club and SIG Board Members interested in attending should discuss the opportunity with their organization’s president.
