About the Board
The Atlanta Gator Club® Board of Directors is responsible for fundraising, event programming, UFAA membership and outreach in the metro Atlanta area. The main mission of the Board—in addition to planning a calendar of fun, diverse events—is to raise funds for the Atlanta Gator Club® Scholarship Fund, which awards scholarships to outstanding students from the Atlanta area who will be attending UF. It is a lot of work, but it is also lot of fun!
Each Director serves a two-year term, which starts at the beginning of our fiscal year, July 1st. Any UFAA member is encouraged to seek election onto the Board or simply volunteer to help at events or viewing parties. If you are not a member, simply join UFAA to be eligible. Open board positions can be filled anytime throughout the year. If you see a position that interest you are if you have other skills you'd like to bring to the board, please reach out!
