ACADEMICS/SCHOLARSHIP
January-June 2011
This committee works with the Academics chair to select the Club’s scholarship recipients and plan the Annual Scholarship Reception (in June), which recognizes two Distinguished Gators (community leaders who have shown dedication to the Club) and awards the scholarships to the high school recipients. This event is one of the signature events of the Club and typically includes an evening dinner and entertainment, in addition to the awards program.

COMMUNICATIONS

INTERNATIONAL GATOR DAY
November 2010-May 2011
This committee will work with the Volunteer Chair to start planning this event in November. It will take place on May 16.

The Tampa Gator Club has held a kickball tournament for the past four years and invited children from local non-profits to participate along with the volunteers.
Chair: Craig Baker, Volunteer@TampaGatorClub.com
GOLF TOURNAMENT

MEMBERSHIP
Ongoing throughout the year, July 2010-June 2011
This committee will work with the Membership Chair to come up with strategies to increase membership and will work together to implement those strategies. The committee will also find unique ways to encourage current members to pursue leadership roles in the Club. Finally, they will identify opportunities for members-only benefits in various activities.
Chair: Mario Torres, Membership@TampaGatorClub.com
YOUNG ALUMNI
Ongoing throughout the year, July 2010-June 2011
* For anyone who has graduated within the last 15 years
This committee works with the Young Alumni chair to plan events for this demographic. The young alumni program gives recent graduates a chance to come together to network, socialize and cheer on the Gators. The committee schedules 3-4 events per year (includes the Gator Rompin’ pub crawl), however, young alumni are encouraged and welcome to attend any and all Tampa Gator Club activities.
