Founded in 2024, the Alumni Advisory Board unites a passionate group of young professionals and GLI alumni dedicated to expanding GLI’s impact and advancing its mission. Members serve one-year renewable terms, actively participating in Board meetings and contributing to one of three key committees: the Mentorship Committee supports and guides GLI’s school-based Chapters; the Social Committee cultivates community and professional connections through events; and the Engagement Committee amplifies awareness of critical issues related to gender equality.
The Alumni Advisory Board also plays an active role in supporting the GLI delegation to the UN Commission on the Status of Women. Through mentorship, community-building, and advocacy, the Board is focused on drivings GLI’s mission forward in innovative, impactful and enduring ways.
