incredible honor to have served as your president.* Career services were launched with the goal of genuine, meaningful service to members of all ages.
* An alumni summer camp for families and individuals took steps closer to realization.
* Dr. and Mrs. Gerberding's 16-year service to the UW were recognized through UWAA events and an association contribution to endowments in their names.
* Partner clubs--academic, geographic and special interest--became stronger and more involved.
* A multicultural alumni partnership club was established.
* Meaningful dialogue and working relationships were established with alumni groups representing four UW professional schools.
* Events from Miami to Hong Kong were meaningful and well attended.
* Legislative support for the UW moved to a higher level.
* Columns magazine reached a new high in excellence and recognition.
