SOM ALUMNAE BOARD RECRUITING STUDENT REPRESENTATIVES
Apply by November 11, 2005

The Simmons School of Management Alumnae Association (SOMAA) Board of Directors is looking for two students (one full time, one part time) from the Class of 2006 to sit on the Board as non-voting members representing the interests of current students, our pre-alumnae constituents.

The SOMAA Board is the leadership of the Alumnae Association. Our mission is to serve alumnae and to support and advance the SOM. We focus on strategic issues that are important to furthering the interests of both groups including: building a sense of community and identity to help alumnae stay connected to each other and to the SOM, facilitating communication via the Network Magazine, fundraising, accreditation, career services, marketing executive education, etc.

Your time commitment includes attendance all board meetings. These are held monthly as conference calls and in person at the SOM once per quarter. Additionally you may want to work on a committee or on a special project.

This is an excellent opportunity to gain experience working on a board of directors, become involved and connected with the alumnae network, and have a voice in the direction of the Alumnae Association.

If you are interested, please contact Wendy Sheehan ‘97 at wendy.Sheehan@comcast.net by November 11, 2005. Please include a resume and statement of interest. A nominations committee member will contact you directly.

Thank you,
Wendy Sheehan ‘97
