About GACRAO

For more than 70 years, GACRAO has served as a trusted professional association and statewide community for admissions, registrar, and enrollment services personnel across Georgia. We provide a network built on collaboration, mentorship, shared knowledge, and meaningful connection.

Each year, our members come together for learning and relationship-building through cornerstone events, including the virtual Mid-Year Workshop in the spring. This one-day online experience allows members from every campus to engage from their home or office, creating space for professional growth without the need for travel.

Through the Grow with GACRAO initiative, we are committed to strengthening the leadership pipeline across institutions. Our signature professional development cohorts include G-REP (GACRAO’s Rising Enrollment Professionals) for early-career enrollment staff and professionals within their first few years of service, and GISEM (GACRAO Institute for Strategic Enrollment Management) for members focused on strategic enrollment leadership and institutional impact.

The GACRAO Annual Conference remains our anchor experience for learning, networking, and celebrating the work of enrollment professionals who guide students across the region. With deep roots and an innovative focus on people and professional development, GACRAO continues to be one of the most respected state and regional enrollment organizations in the country.

We hope our members use every opportunity, this spring, this fall, and in the years to come, to grow with us, learn with us, and lead with GACRAO.
