Fiscal Year Timeline

Time commitment will vary for each network based on individual network decisions and programming calendar. Most network leaders can expect to dedicate at least 2 hours a month to their network, understanding that months with programming could involve a larger time commitment. GVSU Alumni Relations will host 2 programs for network leaders per year: Alumni Network Meetings: Leadership Summit and Virtual Leaders Meeting.
