About the City Alliance

The Georgetown University City Alliance goal is to increase the visibility of Georgetown University and strengthen its ties within the financial community of London. The group will work to raise Georgetown's profile and that of its alumni, parents and friends in various financial services, to create and participate in professional networking opportunities, and to build relationships between members' firms and the University for the mutually beneficial exchange of resources. The alliance will also serve as a vehicle to further the mission of the University through outreach, development and the communication of its strategic priorities.

The City Alliance is headed by four co-chairs: Joseph P. Baratta (B'93), Phillip Fletcher (F'79), Dr. Martin Halusa (C'77) and Paul R. Harvey (B'85).
