Clubs & SIGs Insider

November | 2026

Greetings!

Thank you to all our Club and SIG leaders who traveled to campus for the 2026 Alumni Leadership Conference (ALC)! This year, we welcomed representatives from over 100 Clubs and SIGs across 47 countries. It was inspiring to see so many volunteers connect, share experiences, and exchange best practices throughout the conference.

We encourage you to continue the conversations started at ALC, both within your cohorts and across the broader Clubs and SIGs network. ALC resources can be found on Officers Lounge.
