Leadership Dalton-Whitfield Alumni Association

The Leadership Dalton-Whitfield Alumni Association was created as a way to keep the graduates engaged.  The association was formed in 2005 and a committee formed, which guides and directs the events and activities of the association.  Annual dues of $35 were established to help offset the costs of events, offer scholarships to one or more participants for the Leadership Dalton-Whitfield program and work on one or more programs that have a meaningful impact on the community.

Who can participate:  All alumni of the Leadership Dalton-Whitfield program are encouraged to attend the events and to pay their annual dues.
