Club/SIG Requirements for Good Standing
The Harvard Law School Association (HLSA) and its Clubs and SIGs are dedicated partners in building a vibrant and engaged alumni community. To remain in good standing with the HLSA, Clubs and SIGs must meet the following requirements each year:
1. Volunteer Leadership
Appoint HLS alumni volunteers to manage the organization (HLSA Constitution Section 6.1 and HLSA Operating Guidelines II.3 Volunteer Roles).
2. Communicate with the HLSA and the HLS Alumni Relations Office
Clubs and SIGs are expected to actively communicate with the HLSA and HLS Alumni Relations Office to engage HLS alumni. Responsiveness helps ensure effective collaboration and supports the shared mission of fostering alumni connections.
3. Submit annual Certification
Submit responses to the annual Certification survey each spring - providing insights into the Club and SIG activities and engagement (HLSA Constitution Section 6.2).
4. Compliance with the HLSA Club/SIG Operating Guidelines
Clubs and SIGs are to comply with all guidelines outlined in the HLSA Club/SIG Operating Guidelines. These guidelines are to be reviewed annually in the Certification process by the Club/SIG submitter and must be agreed upon.
