The Maryland Alumni Association maintains and supports a network of Alumni Advocates across Maryland. These business and community leaders help raise awareness about the importance of higher education and promote the university's achievements and initiatives to elected officials. Alumni Advocates attend special programs in Annapolis during the General Assembly session, meet one-on-one with legislators and organize alumni-hosted legislative receptions around the state. Meet your Alumni Advocacy Committee Members who appreciate your efforts.

On Tuesday, February 19, 2008, the University of Maryland held its tenth annual Terrapin Pride Day—our lobby day in Annapolis. Hundreds of other Maryland supporters including alumni, students, faculty and staff joined us as we rallied on behalf of the campus and made our voices heard in Annapolis. More information about the event can be found at http://www.president.umd.edu/LCR/TPD/.
