President's Council

  To establish an exceptional pattern of generous annual giving.

 
To strengthen the active network of alumni and friends by
     disseminating information regarding the School.

  To provide updates on the institution from the President.

  To create a venue through which the counsel and assistance
     of valued supporters may be requested by the President when needed.
