Volunteer | On a Council or Board

UC Berkeley Haas has one primary alumni volunteer leadership body as well as several research center boards.

UC Berkeley Haas Alumni Volunteer Leadership Council

The Berkeley Haas Alumni Council is a volunteer leadership body made up of alumni leaders from across the Berkeley Haas Alumni Network. In addition to their roles as Affinity Group, and Regional Representatives and Chapter Board Members, MBA Reunion Volunteers, and Class Engagement Officers, Council members serve as ambassadors for the school by helping foster connection, engagement, and a culture of philanthropy among alumni, students, and the broader Haas community.

Council members help share information about year-round alumni activities, engagement opportunities, reunion events, lifelong learning programs, career resources, volunteer opportunities, and annual giving. They also provide input and perspective to help guide the priorities of the Berkeley Haas Alumni Network and strengthen the alumni experience across programs, regions, and affinity communities.

The Council meets formally twice a year to connect with one another, hear key school updates, learn from Haas faculty and school leadership, and share ideas that support alumni engagement and community-building.

Interested in getting involved? Alumni Council membership is connected to several yearlong volunteer leadership opportunities, including Class Engagement Offers, MBA Reunion volunteers, and Chapter and Affinity Group Boards.

Berkeley Haas Center & Institutes Boards

The Center for Responsible Business (CRB) Community Advisory Group: the CRB is establishing the CRB Community Advisory Group (CAG). Building upon the legacy of the CRB Senior Advisory Board, the CRB CAG expands our capacity to foster an even stronger sense of community while welcoming more individuals to engage. The CRB CAG will serve as a resource for connecting and supporting students while cultivating a broader UC Berkeley community around responsible business.
The CRB CAG will also provide members with a meaningful way to strengthen their ties with UC Berkeley—building relationships with students, faculty, and fellow practitioners who share a commitment to sustainability and responsible business at a great public mission university. In addition, the CRB CAG will offer the CRB Student Advisory Board and other engaged UC Berkeley students mentorship and professional opportunities.

To form the CRB CAG, we are actively engaging alumni of the CRB Student Advisory Board, alumni of Berkeley Haas and the broader UC Berkeley community, UC Berkeley faculty members, and individuals in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond who wish to be active members of the CRB community including active and retired industry leaders in sustainability and responsible business.
