The Georgetown Club of Spain is an organization that serves as a bridge between the University and all of its alumni residing in or visiting Spain. We are a chartered entity of the Alumni Association (GUAA), managed and operated entirely by alumni volunteers. Club members elect an Executive Committee in a yearly General Assembly meeting.

This committee is formed by at least four members including a president, a vice-president, a secretary and a treasurer. The Executive Committee is responsible for the general interest of all of its club members and for organizing regular events (social, cultural, religious, academic, business & networking in nature) throughout the year.
