Alumni Leadership Council Expands with Class Ambassadors

The Alumni Office is excited to announce the 2016 – 2017 Alumni Leadership Council (see names below). This council serves as the official liaison for all Ranney School alumni, forming a bridge between the school and alums. Its spirit lies in inclusiveness, accomplishing its mission through gifts of time, talent, and knowledge.

Active alumni involvement at any academic institution, including at Ranney, is vital to a school’s efforts to further its mission. The Leadership Council has therefore increased in size, and council members will now also serve as their class ambassador.

"The Alumni Office felt it very important to reinvigorate the Class Ambassador program," says Director of Alumni Relations Tom Moriau. "Class Ambassadors help the connection process, acting as a liaison between their classmates and Ranney School, while encouraging their classmates to participate in the alumni program.  Class Ambassadors are one of the most important volunteer positions as the role provides an opportunity to be involved in the life of the school in a way that demonstrates dedication and service to your alma mater."

The Alumni Leadership Council stands at the center of the Alumni Office's outreach efforts and is the backbone of the school's ability to reconnect with all alumni.  Ambassadors and members serve as a "pulse" for their class, staying in touch with classmates, updating contact information, and sharing milestones and achievements with the school.  
 
The council meets quarterly via conference call (or in person if you are able) to share updates and to discuss ideas and strategies for engaging the alumni community. Council members are invited to participate in these outreach efforts as they feel comfortable. The Alumni Office will provide class lists, ideas for outreach, and sample communications. Your time commitment will only be a couple hours a month at the most. The position can be shared by classmates if they wish.
