Clubs

In addition to joining the GBA, you should also consider joining one of the four clubs – Consulting (UGC), Finance (GFA), Marketing (GMA) or Media (GEMA).  These clubs offer developmental programs, networking opportunities, speaker series, panel discussions, and chances to work on real-world projects with clients.  Occasionally, the GBA will hold social events in conjunction with the clubs.  More information will be available at the beginning of the year from each club individually.  Until that time, consider the path you are looking for your career to take and which club would be the best fit for you.
