Chapter Meetings
The DC Chapter depends on the strength and effectiveness of its general body and committee meetings to flourish and attain success.

The FAMU National Alumni Association DC Chapter meetings are important as they provide opportunities for alumni to network and socialize, but most importantly promote and fulfill the mission and vision of the FAMU National Alumni Association as well as service our local community in the interest of FAMU.
