The SUNY Adirondack Alumni Association is looking for a few good members to serve on its various organizational committees.

The Association will host an informal get-together on Wed., Jan. 18, from 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Chinatown Restaurant, Route 9, Queensbury, to seek SUNY Adirondack alumni who are willing to serve on the association’s various committees.

The event is open to all SUNY Adirondack alumni. An alumnus is defined as any student who has earned at least three credits. Light hors d’oeuvres will be served, and a cash bar will be available.

The Association has formed six committees: Activities, Communications, Community Service, Education, IT/Administration, and Membership Benefits. The purpose of the Jan. 18 meeting is to outline the goals and targets for each committee, and to recruit committee members.

“We want this organization to be driven by the alumni, and we need proactive, engaged, and creative people to chair and serve on those committees,” said Don Tenne, Class of 1974 and chair of the SUNY Adirondack Foundation’s Alumni Relations Committee, the body which currently oversees the organization. “A number of alumni have already agreed to serve, and we welcome all who’d like to participate.

“This is a chance to have an impact on the college we all feel so fondly about,” Tenne said.

The Association kicked off in June with a meet and greet event at the college, and the Alumni Relations Committee was instrumental in creating “The Alumni Experience” feature at SUNY Adirondack’s first annual Homecoming in September to help celebrate the college’s 50th anniversary.

SUNY Adirondack President Dr. Ronald C. Heacock, alum Bonnie Yanklowitz, and Board of Trustees chair Mark Bulmer cut the cake at the Sept. 17 Homecoming celebrating SUNY Adirondack's 50th anniversary.
