Mighty! Rams Alumni Body:<\/p><p>Thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve as your Board President.<\/p><p>As president, I work with Carver\u2019s principal, to update our purpose and discuss a future direction that emphasizes a spirit of loyalty, professional interaction, mentorship of future alumni, and personal support to assure the continued success of the mission of the G. W. Carver National Alumni Association.<\/p><p>Though my time at Carver High School as an undergraduate formed the basic foundation for the significant professional and personal accomplishments in my life, I can say with all honesty that being involved as an alumni volunteer in various capacities for the last few years has added an entirely new dimension to my appreciation for public higher education in general, and the special opportunities available through attending Carver. My initial experience of being a representative with the primary focus of working on class reunions, ultimately led to leadership positions on that body, as well as heightened involvement with and ultimately membership on, the G.W. Carver National Alumni Association Board of Directors. I continue to cherish these opportunities and the good people associated with them who are similarly united in recognizing what their time at Carver meant to them.<\/p><p>I guess the major thing I\u2019ve learned as growing age has sharpened my appreciation for how my time at Carver critically shaped my life is that no one gesture of support, either finance, through volunteering one\u2019s time or expertise, etc.- is truly \u201ctoo small.\u201d It may sound trite, but every little bit does help. Carver has an amazingly diverse and large body of talent out in the \u201creal world,\u201d if every current Alum would consider \u201cgiving something back\u201d in recognition of what Carver did for them, the prestige of this noble institution would be enhanced well beyond its already well-recognized standing. There are dozens of different ways any alum can step up and help- just check with any member of the association- or suggest one of your own.<\/p><p>I remain grateful to Carver High School because of my fulfilling years as a student here, my continued affiliations with fellow alumni, and the dedicated Alumni Association Board and volunteers. Chief among my goals as the Alumni President is to increase involvement, loyalty and support among all Alumni.<\/p><p>Whether from the Class of 1959 or 2024 and beyond, we all should help Carver High School any way we can. We look forward to your continued support of our George Washington Carver National Alumni Association: Get involved. Join a committee. Volunteer at an event. Donate to student scholarships. Finally, consider serving on our Board of Directors or Class Representative.<\/p><p>This is a great time to be a Ram!
