Advisory Board

The current composition of the GLC Alumni Network Advisory Board includes 14 people: 10 from Europe (2 from each European country) and 4 from the US.

In Europe, each country is represented by 1 (ex-)country director and 1 alum which was selected by their national alumni community in the end of 2024 through consultations and/or participatory processes.

In the US, participatory process among US mentors resulted in the election of Cris Doby and Louis Goseland. Sondra Youdelman was invited to the Board in June 2025, while Elizabeth Balint has a reserved honorary member position due to her key role and indispensable work in the building of the GLC alumni community. 

The Alumni Board makes decisions with majority at meetings in which at least half of the members and at least one representative per country are present.

The Board is currently chaired by Cris Doby (US).

The Board has tasked Vladislav Petkov (Bulgaria/Spain) to steer the activities of the Network as network coordinator.
