Do you bleed Orange & Blue? We need you!

The Gator Club of Jacksonville is actively seeking more participants to help lead and grow the club. For our club to be successful we need a dedicated core of individuals to lead the organization.

If you accept a position you will be expected to attend a monthly board meeting and carry out the tasks your position is responsible for. You will be asked to attend our events and act as an ambassador for the club and the Alumni Association. To be a Gator Club of Jacksonville board member you must be a member of the University of Florida Alumni Association. Join UFAA here! (It is not required that you be a UF graduate, only a UFAA member.)

Those interested in serving on the 2012-2013 Board of Directors please email nominate@jaxgatorclub.com by Monday, June 4. A Nominating Committee member will be in touch with you as the election for the next BOD is on Monday, June 18.

Help your club continue its mission in Jacksonville by giving back to the University that we all love!
