These Carolina Clubs Go Above and Beyond

Posted on Nov. 13, 2007

More than 100 Carolina Clubs worldwide help alumni stay connected to each other and help them give back to Carolina and their communities. Each year, the GAA honors outstanding clubs — those that are exceptional in serving their area alumni, the GAA and the University. A committee considers several elements to select award winners, including service to UNC, community involvement, financial management, leadership, organization, event-planning and communications. These clubs were recognized in November at the GAA-sponsored club leaders’ conference.
