As @CooperHealey reaches the midway point of her tenure as ITGA’s first British President, she reflects on a year of transformative leadership, global connections, and setting the stage for ITGA’s future. From the UKTGA conference in Manchester to launching ITGA’s first student internship, this journey has been about building stronger communities worldwide.
What’s next? The 2025 ITGA Conference from June 4-6,where leadership transitions and ambitious strategic plans take center stage!

Former ITGA President @MayorPatterson joined global leaders at the Stronger Cities Network event in Manchester, England, tackling hate, extremism, and polarization alongside mayors from across Europe and the U.S. 🇺🇸🤝🇪🇺
Between impactful discussions, he even found time for a pint with ITGA President @CooperHealey at The Lass O’Gowrie —because Town & Gown talk is always on the agenda!

#FBF to the amazing @UKTGA conference in November that uplifted more international town & gown conversation. Makes us excited for the next large gathering in @CityofKentOhio and @KentState for #ITGA2025
The #LINKglobal footprint grew in a big way when we opened the @LINKstrategic UK Branch in 2020. What a pleasure it was to be back 🇬🇧 last week for a very productive series of meetings in #London & #Manchester! #TeamLINK was honored to sponsor & present at the @uktga #UKTGA2024 Conference, and I loved being a part of the @ITGA_ORG Board Retreat! Throw in meetings with @londonchamber @GM_Communities @ManchesterGrow @atptour @OfficialUoM @ManCityCouncil & more…now that was a productive week!

It's International Campus and Community Day so let's look back at some of our favourite #CampusAndCommunity stories from the year. ⤵️
“We can count among our students, staff and alumni many members of the Greater Shankill community and as a University, we have been formally working in partnership with the Shankill area since 2014 when the Children and Young People Zone was created.” – @QUBVChancellor
People are at the heart of everything we do here at Queen’s. That’s why we signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Shankill Partnerhsip back in February, and it’s why we’ll continue to support young people in our local communities to realise their full potential.
#LoveQUB @uktga @QUBEngagement @ShankillZone #Shankill #ShankillUnlimited
"Queen's are going to continue walking with us on this journey and developing what they're doing with us. So it's proving to be transformative." - @jackieredpath
We have signed a Memorandum of Understanding with @GrShankill formalising our shared commitment to further collaborative work to progress and enhance the #GreaterShankill area.
