The humble beginnings:
In the early months of 2008, Georgia Tech Crew Alumni decided it was time to make an official organization. A small
group of graduates spoke with the GT Alumni Association
and realized the potential to become an Affinity Group.
These alumni formed a steering committee (which created a
charter for the group), designed an official logo, and organized the
first event. The GT Crew Alumni Affinity Group was officially
recognized by the Alumni Association on August 12th, 2008. The constitution was adapted one year later, and is published below.
Benefits of being an Affinity Group:
- The
Alumni Association facilitates Affinity Groups with alumni contacts. In addition, they
communicate with GTCA members by sending official
e-mails from the institution.
- Affinity
Group's have access to the GT Alumni House as well as numerous
locations for meetings, happy hours, meet and greets, seminars and
events. In addition, the members of the group will be invited to a
variety of events held by the Alumni Association throughout the year.
- An Affinity Group is an official group that is registered within the institution. Visibility for the GTCA and for GT Crew can be created at a higher level and with greater validity.
- The
Affinity Group will eventually be able to provide support to the team
in ways that GT Crew has never seen before in terms of recruitment, funding, alumni connectivity, and more .
