Alumnae Board Meeting

Saturday was spent in the Reigner Room in our library, which houses many of Julia Baldwin’s personal books and maps. In this room there is also a huge conference table and big conference table chairs. It wasn’t planned for me to be the STARS rep at this meeting, but the planned rep had prior commitments and so I was asked if I could go. Well of course I would come, I would LOVE to come. Getting the opportunity was awesome. I learned so much from this meeting, although I can’t say  a lot about what was said, I learned so much.

I learned that I will some day be one of the awesome women sitting around that table making plans for the future of Mary Baldwin. It was awesome to be asked to give input on important issues surrounding the college. Most of the alum that were there, I had met before and was thrilled to see again, but there were a few that I had never met before who I can’t wait to see again.

Dori is the president of the alum association, and let me tell how wonderful she is and how great it is that she is a person I have in my life. I have never sat in a meeting that was run so professional and yet, there was still a way about it that didn’t make it seem intimidating, which is what I was expecting.

After I graduate I cannot wait to become a member of the alum association and get the chance to work with young women and can only hope that I am a role model to them someday.
