ALUMNI ASSOCIATION MEMBERSHIP

Endowing the Alumni Association

What's New at the Association

by Karen Sutton, AA Manager of Finance

The board of directors has voted to launch a campaign to endow the Association. Why? "To do more with less." What does this mean? It means we can do MORE for our alumni, our medical students, and our School of Medicine with LESS (fewer) appeals for annual membership and reduce dues by 50%.

We invite you to participate in our efforts to make this $5 million Alumni Association Endowment possible by becoming a Perpetual Member.

New Perpetual Memberships and donations--cash, stock, trusts, etc.--will complete the endowment. A goal has been set to obtain 2,400 Perpetual Members.

As of June 24, 2008, Perpetual Members currently number 1,617, with 1,345 Silver members; 219 Gold; 34 Platinum; 15 Diamond; 2 Double Diamond; and 2 Triple Diamond. Together, these memberships make up 95% of the $3.6 million in hand toward the $5 million goal.

Together, we will "do more with less."
