About the Alumni Organization in USA

An Alumni organization was established in the USA in July 2011 when a group of old students gathered for a reunion in Bowie, Maryland. The major goal of the organization is to bring together and leverage our network to raise funds and resources to support our Alma mater. Other goals include providing support to members and our sister organizations across the globe by leveraging individual and collective resources and talents. The achievements of the US chapter of Federal Government Girls College (FGGC) Sagamu Alumni, a not for profit organization incorporated in the USA includes the following:

·         Upgrade of school library (donation of books, air conditioning unit and book shelves)

·         Alumni assistance program (payment of medical costs for 2 alumni, including surgical fees for alumnus with cancer)

Yearly Reunion/Outreach event

As a follow-up to our very first “official” reunion where we determined the need for regular meetings, we now hold a yearly event on the last Saturday in April. This year’s reunion event will hold at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Bethesda, Maryland. Our choice of the state of Maryland is not only due to ease of access for our members, it is also a symbolic way to mark the 5^thanniversary of this project, which was birthed in Maryland in 2011.In line with our mission to empower our alma mater, we intend to inform members of our bold plans to scale our collective impact on the school that invested so much in many women who are today global leaders. 

We hope you will make plans to join us in Maryland on April 25^th. In the meantime, we welcome your comments, so please do not hesitate to connect with us at www.facebook.com/fggcsalumniusa, or contact Modupe Olatunji-Adekanmbi (President), Abimbola Art-Alade (Vice President), OlabisiSobajo - Makinde (Secretary) or Teju Ajani (Communication Officer) at info@fggcsagamualumniusa.com.
