A note from new Regional Co-coordinator , Erin Herlihy '97:
Hello there, New York City area alum! I'd like to take up a bit of this month's e-newsletter to introduce myself, to rave about the local steering committee, and to ask for your help! I'm Erin Herlihy, class of '97 and your newest NYC Alumni regional coordinator. When I returned to New York after grad school in Chicago, I was asked by Katherine Kornblau, our long-standing Regional Coordinator, to help out with the planning of alumni activities here in the city. It is a position I'm delighted to take as I'd always enjoyed being involved with the NYC steering committee before leaving town. When Katherine told me what a dedicated and energetic steering committee has developed in NY, I was delighted. I'm even more delighted to report that it's entirely true - there's a wonderful team of organized, friendly, outgoing alum here in NY who are working hard to create a variety of events for NY area alumni and their families every month.
But that doesn't mean we can't use your help! We're always looking for more dedicated volunteers who are willing and able to plan or host area events. We're especially interested in increasing the diversity of events, and are keen to involve members of ALL class years and alumni with family-oriented events in mind. If you have event ideas, we want to hear from you. If you're already involved in an a special event which other alum can attend or participate in, we want to help you get the word out. We'd LOVE to hear from you. Please feel free to contact me at Eherlihy@gmail.com. Or better yet, come out to an event and meet some of your fabulous local steering committee members in person! Hope to see you at an event soon!
