Group structure and Leadership
We have established a multi-tiered leadership structure to best meet the needs of our diverse alumni. The national team focuses on strategic initiatives for the organization. Our local chapters organize events and communicate with prospective LGBT Dukies and recent graduates. The school representatives communicate about issues related to the individual Duke schools and serve as networking and mentoring point people.
Click on the email addresses below to contact the point persons and learn more. You may also sign up for email distribution lists associated with each of these local chapter groups and some school based groups.
As DukeLAN moves forward, we are constantly looking for new and committed alumni. In the meantime, we would like to wholeheartedly thank Dave Naeger for 3 years of service as the listserv manager. Our Vice-President Tina Alexander will be phasing out of DukeLAN this summer as her career leads her into a new phase of life.
