June/July 2007
Summer is a time for planning for the upcoming year in the alumni affairs office, and also a time for reflecting on the successes of the past year. This fall, we will be celebrating the successes of the Johnson School's Regional Alumni Clubs.
In partnership with the Alumni Affairs & Development Committee of the Advisory Council, we are pleased to announce the creation of the Henry P. Renard, MBA '55, Regional Club of the Year Award. The award will be presented in October 2007 to an outstanding regional club. All clubs that submitted an annual plan are eligible to receive the award.
The award was named in honor of Henry P. Renard, MBA '55 who has been instrumental over the years not only with the New York regional club, but with many other regional clubs globally. He has a passion for alumni engagement and a commitment to Johnson School alumni around the world.
The Henry P. Renard, MBA '55, Regional Club of the Year Award recognizes the regional club with the most outstanding programs and activities in the given fiscal year. To meet the award's criteria, programs should:
- attract a large percentage of regional alumni to attend
- embody innovation, creativity, and diversity
- involve partnership with the school's admissions staff
- embrace the goals and support the mission of the Johnson School
Many thanks to all the regional club boards and volunteers, as well as to Henry Renard for his leadership and inspiration in establishing this new award. I hope to see you at future regional events, and enjoy the rest of your summer.
Truly,
