June 2023 NorCal Club Newsletter

Alums in class order 🙂Keenan ’13, April ‘12, Katie ‘05, & Kate ‘81

Dear fellow alums,

We hope you enjoyed the long Memorial Day weekend and were all able to spend some fun time with family and friends!

May started with a gathering at the Bay Area Book Festival and ended with a nice hike around Lafayette Reservoir. We thoroughly enjoyed gathering outdoors and connecting with new and familiar faces!

We hope to see more of you face-to-face at some of our upcoming events, including our annual meeting on Saturday, June 10! We have two amazing alum speakers for our meeting—Ann Blake ’85, executive director of the Jenifer Altman Foundation, and Natasha Mohanty ’03, head of Engineering, Checkout Experiences at Stripe—who will talk about life and career transitions. You don’t want to miss it! If you haven’t done so already, we invite you to reserve your spot via Eventbrite.

Pay Your Dues

The Club’s fiscal year ends on June 30, so there’s still time to pay your dues for the 2022-2023 year or even become a Lifetime Member and never pay dues again! All dues payments and donations are tax-deductible and help keep our volunteer-run Club afloat.

Join the Board

It’s also your last chance to join our fantastic board for the 2023-2024 fiscal year! We welcome alums from our entire Northern California region, not just the Bay Area. Our Board meetings are via Zoom even in non-pandemic times, so location truly doesn’t matter. We would love to have representation from throughout our incredibly large region!

The next term begins July 1, 2023. Please peruse the board descriptions and reach out to us by email. We’re always looking for fresh perspectives, new ideas, and look forward to hearing from you.

Check out all our upcoming events below. As always, please reach out if there is programming you’d like to see, an event you’d like to host, or you simply want to say hello. Don’t forget to follow us on Instagram and join our Club’s Facebook Page!

Our very best wishes,

– The Board
