LGAA Dates:

• 1974: First Leadership Gainesville class.  According to Dr. Larry Peppers, we have the 4th oldest "leadership" program in the country.
• 1983: SIMSOC added to the curriculum (nope, we're not telling you what SIMSOC is.)
• 1986: Medical shadowing added to curriculum
• 1987: Teacher shadowing added to curriculum
• 1987: Leadership Gainesville Alumni Association formed
• 2010: LGAA launched a fully integrated website, www.lgaulm.com, where members can sign up for events, manage their directory profile, renew their membership, post on our events blog, and read more about our organization and its history.  The goal was to set up a repository of information that would ensure that all of our institutional knowledge was passed from generation to generation.
