FELLOWS ALUMNI - ARE YOU ALL IN?
When the Executive Council asked Fellows Alumni if they would be willing to support the program with an annual contribution, the overwhelming response was, "We're All In!" Funding is crucial for the strength and growth of the Fellows Alumni association, so the EC asks each of you to make a personal commitment of $125.
You can make your contribution through PayPal by clicking here. Please note that there is a $4.04 convenience fee. If you'd like to pay another way, contact Courtney Nolde.
If you have any questions, contact Patrice Jean at patrice.jean@hugheshubbard.com or Zohra Tejani at zohrat@microsoft.com.
