SACL &
The University of Texas at Dallas
Welcome You to the
3rd Annual
Regional Intercollegiate Volunteer Alumni
Leaders (RIVAL) Workshop!
January 18, 2020
For volunteer leaders of geographic alumni clubs, affinity groups, parent's clubs and Greek alumni chapters.
Alumni relations professionals welcome.
The 3rd RIVAL Workshop will once again be co-sponsored by the Society for Alumni Club Leadership (SACL) and the University of Texas at Dallas (UT Dallas).
The RIVAL Workshop is all about the volunteer alumni leader! We are capturing the best of a typical volunteer alumni leader conference hosted at a club’s alma mater, taking it local and enhancing the experience by involving the extensive network of volunteer alumni leaders supporting any and all college and university groups.
We are further condensing the program into a half-day, Saturday event for maximum benefit with a minimum commitment. Learn more about the background for the workshop.
Purpose
The purpose of the SACL Regional Intercollegiate Volunteer Alumni Leaders (RIVAL) Workshop is to not only make it possible for many, many more volunteer leaders to benefit from the comradery, education and support of an alumni leaders conference, but also to compound the beneficial results through interaction with peers from other college and university alumni organizations.
Attendees will leave inspired, rejuvenated and with greater confidence in the ability to successfully lead a thriving club/chapter.

The young Davidson-Gundy Alumni Center opened September 7, 2017. It is an inspirational space, designed to motivate aspiration among students and serve as a touchpoint for alumni, fostering connections between current alumni and alumni to come. Called a “gateway to the future” by its namesake donors, the facility is a building within a park, featuring sun-catching screens that create the illusion of comets moving through the cosmos.
This amazing facility will be the home of the RIVAL Workshop – North Texas 2020 with advanced audio visual and electronic support integrated into modern design and peaceful gardens.
