UTAA Council of Presidents
About the Council of Presidents
The Council of Presidents (COP) comprises the presidents of constituent alumni associations, the UTAA board of directors and the alumni governors of the Governing Council. The Council is chaired by the President of the UTAA and meets two times per year at meetings convened by the Alumni Relations Office and the UTAA.
These gatherings provide an orientation to the workings of the University of Toronto through professional development, dissemination of information and the communication of best practices. These meetings also offer Council members the opportunity to build peer-to-peer networks and to informally share their experiences with fellow alumni volunteer leaders.
