The Associate Director of Regional Engagement is a key position on the Alumni Relations team responsible for developing and coordinating a strategic market presence in key markets for Georgetown. The role focuses on managing Georgetown’s Alumni Clubs and Alumni Contacts in these regions, working closely with Club and Contact volunteers through monthly meetings and traveling to each market as budget allows.

The position cultivates, trains, educates and stewards a network of volunteers for leadership within the Alumni Club/Contact structure and prepares them for other volunteer roles at Georgetown and beyond. The Associate Director engages Clubs and Contacts to deliver key messages, support university initiatives, and build a network of informed ambassadors for Georgetown.
