Annual Chapter Leadership Summit,

 August 24, 

 


 

In August 2024, I had the opportunity to participate in the CSUN Alumni Chapters Leadership Summit, representing the Educational Alumni Chapter. The summit brought together leaders from various alumni chapters to discuss strategies for strengthening alumni engagement and fostering connections within our respective fields. It was an enriching experience to exchange ideas with fellow alumni and explore new approaches to enhancing our chapter’s impact. As a representative of the Educational Alumni Chapter, I was particularly focused on identifying ways to support educational leaders and promote professional growth opportunities for our members. The event underscored the importance of collaborative efforts in advancing our chapter’s mission and serving the broader CSUN alumni community.
