Sustaining Members 2025-2026

The Yale Club of the Suncoast provides opportunities to strengthen connections between Yale and local alumni, as well as to promote a sense of community among its members through a combination of networking and educational programming. Your membership dues provide the funds critical for us to continue to broaden the range of activities offered. The University does not fund us and we rely exclusively on alumni dues and donations to support our organization’s activities on behalf of our local alumni.

Yale Club of the Suncoast Members enjoy the following benefits:

• Invitations to exclusive members-only events
• Early access to any attendee-limited events
• Significantly discounted (at least $20 per event) event pricing
• A member portal accessible on your mobile device with affinity-related voluntary grouping and chat capabilities
• A searchable digital member directory with member headshots (voluntary) to make finding and connecting easier

The club is actively seeking to expand the range of activities to appeal to different demographic groups and interests. These are likely to include happy hours, hikes and other social outings.

Please review our eligibility criteria:

Any person who has been connected with any department of Yale University as a student or as an instructor, or who has received an honorary degree from the University, shall be eligible for membership in the association. Also eligible for membership are spouses, parents and grandparents of current or past students, as well as current and former staff.

Apply for/Renew Membership

We are actively seeking members with accounting skills, as well as those with skills in social media, and/or WordPress to assist the Yale Club. If you have any of these skills and would like to help, please reach out to Membership Chair, Hedi Katz (see below) or any board member.

We have recently migrated our membership database to a new system. To apply for or renew your existing membership, please click on “Apply for/Renew Membership”, above, select the appropriate membership category for you, and hit “apply”.  The first-time application must be reviewed for eligibility. Once that is reviewed and approved, you will receive an email initiating payment. Renewals of regular and sustaining memberships will not require an application process in the future. If  you have any questions about the Club or membership, please feel free to contact our Membership Chair, Hedi Katz at membership@yaleclubofthesuncoast.org.
