Regional Alumni Chapters
Alumni chapters exist in regions of 50 alumni or more, and are comprised of at least three Berkeley Haas alumni board members. Chapters organize social, networking and professional development events to alumni in their respective region to cultivate a stronger and more united community so that they stay connected to the Haas School.

Regional Representatives
Regional Representatives are alumni ambassadors who serve as a point of contact in regions with smaller Haas communities. Regional representatives partner with our alumni relations office by being our local contact for visiting alumni, faculty, staff, and current or prospective students in cities and countries around the world.
