Associate Leadership Council
A place for young professionals who care about our mission to find each other.
The Associate Leadership Council (ALC) is a community of driven young professionals and alumni who want to stay close to the Carson Scholars Fund, and to each other. It’s a place to build real friendships and professional connections, sharpen your leadership skills, and do meaningful work that helps shape where the alumni community goes next.
Members choose a committee based on where they want to lend their time and talents:
Fundraising & Philanthropy
Builds giving campaigns and helps steward the relationships that keep scholars supported.
Communications & Alumni Engagement
Leads newsletters and social content and keeps alumni connected to each other and the CSF.
Events & Mentorship
Plans networking events and helps power the alumni mentorship program.
In the ALC, you give what you can – an idea, a skill, a connection, some spare time you have – and you get a group of people worth knowing. Plus, a real say in the network and community you’re part of.
Applications for the 2026-2027 Council are closed. The ALC recruits once a year. If you’d like to be among the first to hear when the next round of recruitment begins, we’ll add you to the list and reach out.
