In 2012, the CHCI Board of Directors formed the Alumni Task Force, made up of board and advisory council members, senior alums, and alumni chapter leadership. Among other things, the task force was formed to strengthen the CHCI Alumni Association to better support the work of CHCI and its mission. Much progress has been made. A solid operational foundation has been set for the Association in the area of fundraising, alumni tracking, and alumni engagement – all have increased significantly as a result. Our newest senior members of the task force will join the other members to continue working with the CHCI board, advisory council, staff, and alumni to bring the additional resources and expertise needed to advance the strategic goal of “lifelong engagement of alumni with CHCI.
