Those elected will join the GSPPAA Board of Directors this fall. The deadline to cast your vote is July 21, 2008.
Your GSPP Alumni Association is now nine years old. In that time we have:
- Gathered the GSPP community for an Alumni Recognition Dinner that grows in prestige each year
- Marked class milestones with 30th year reunions
- Linked students and alumni through a mentoring program
- Provided forums to share alumni perspectives with a new policy-analysis practitioners' seminar
- Facilitated policy discussions through alumni seminars in Washington DC
- For the Dean's search, solicited and provided critical feedback from alumni
Board members lead in these efforts to engage and empower the alumni, but your help is needed and welcome. Whether through contributions of expertise, career and APA opportunities, or even the occasional charitable gift, there is always ample opportunity to help grow with the GSPP community.
Please never hesitate to contact us directly at ehsieh@cal.berkeley.edu or dhoulihan@mindspring.com to discuss the work of the Association, or just to get in touch and say hello.
Thank you for participating in your GSPP Alumni Association.
Regards,
Dennis Houlihan MPP 1977
