Alumnae Council
Dear Fellow Alumnae,
Upon my graduation from Chatham Hall, I moved on to Northwestern University to prepare for a career in public education. As a lifelong educator, I am convinced that education is the critical tool that enables us to make the world a better place. As an alumna, I am proud to see our alma mater working diligently toward that goal.
As I begin my term as president of the Chatham Hall Alumnae Council, I want to take this opportunity to share with you some of the functions of the Council in addition to our enthusiastic support for the mission of the school. Regardless of what year you graduated, our Alumnae Council represents you, and we want to let you know that you are important to us. You may wonder what else the Council does.
- We plan and promote our yearly Alumnae Reunion. Join us at Chatham Hall on April 29-May 1, 2011.
- We organize regional get-togethers. Attend one of Chatham Hall’s Toast from Coast to Coast events across the nation on November 11, 2010.
- We promote pride in the professional and volunteer accomplishments of our Alumnae through the Distinguished Alumna Award. Submit your nomination today.
- We assist Admissions by hosting events for prospective students, attending school fairs, and encouraging applications from friends and fellow alumnae. Please join us in this effort.
- We raise funds in support of the Alumnae Legacy Scholarship Fund.
- We encourage classmates to contribute Class Notes to the Chat and to participate in our Facebook.
- We provide leadership by example in Chatham Hall’s Annual Fund.
We welcome your ideas and suggestions. Please email me at petiek@sbcglobal.net or contact any member of the Advancement Office, which coordinates Alumnae Relations for Chatham Hall. They will gladly put you in touch with other members of the Council or will provide you with direct assistance.
