Leaders Summit a Success
On Nov. 16, a group of more than 200 volunteer leaders, donors and students gathered at UCLA with the goal of sharing ideas, tactics and tools on creating greater alumni engagement, collaboration and communication across a diverse network of Bruins. The result was the formation of stronger bonds, fresh strategies and a renewed passion for the future of UCLA Alumni.
