What is ACEL?

ACEL is an organization of professionals between the ages of 21 and 45 who are interested in educational, leadership and service opportunities in Gainesville and other cities in Alachua County, Fla. We keep young leaders connected, informed and involved with the community and with each other by hosting networking, philanthropic and civic events and by working on projects that benefit our members and the community.

Want to know more? Read our new FAQ page and attend our After Hours mixer, held the second Thursday of each month at the UF Hilton's Two-Bits Lounge at 6 p.m. Admission is free for everyone, and ACEL's ambassadors are there to assist with the networking process, introduce attendees to one another; we make it easy to mingle, make connections and meet new people.
