There are plenty of opportunities to get involved!  By becoming a volunteer for Bangor Region Leadership Institute (BRLI), you can help shape the future of the program and reconnect with your fellow alumni, if you have gone throught the program.  It is also a great networking opportunity. See if any of these committees interest you!

BRLI Alumni Association

The BRLI Alumni Association was formed to ensure that the BRLI experience extends beyond the program for its participants.  The Association serves several purposes: providing continued education opportunities for BRLI Alumni, recruit new participants to the program, and provide networking opportunities for alumni.  Throughout the year, the Alumni Association plans Leadership lunches and socials, raises funds through an Annual Appeal to BRLI alumni, and leads the recruitment efforts for new participants.
