Resumania Wrap-Up

We’d like to extend a Penguin Shout Out to all the alumnae who helped make the Fall 2009 Resumania a roaring success!

Fall 2009 Resumania Volunteers:

Megan Browdie, Pam Capicotto, Melinda Crum, Christina Dempsey, Tricia Fought, Stephanie Gagliardi, Ellina Gendlina, Sydney Hardison, Janine Ketter, Jennifer Kramer, Morgan Lynn-Becket, Melissa Moran, Stefanie Opitz, Mary Sheleheda, Tracy Smith, and Elissa Yuen.

This fall’s Resumania was our biggest drive yet, with a record 98 actives submitting resumes during the 3-week drive! We had resumes from first-year students just getting a jump start (very impressive), as well as from actives pursing internships and full-time positions. The alumnae volunteer force was made up of 16 women with expertise in 9 fields. The alumnae were able to provide positive feedback to the actives to help improve their resumes. Many actives have already responded with thanks and gratitude for the assistance. This is just one more example of how alumnae and actives can work together as sisters to give our actives a boost in the job search. Thank you to the actives who participated and to the alumnae who gave of their time and talents in making this drive a success!

Special thanks to our Resumania Director, Carol Anderson, for doing a fantastic job in coordinating this entire drive!

National Council October Meeting

Tonight, National Council had our October meeting. A lot of the discussion tonight focused on preparing for the strategic plan at our face-to-face meeting next month and next steps of our National Awareness Campaign, continued from the one that the 11th National Council started.

We also got a lot of updates from the Council members and Foundation on all the wonderful things we're working on, such as the West Regional Conference coming up in November, the end of Resumania, Ritual updates, Conference 2010 planning, alumnae and chapter updates, expansion activities, and the upcoming newsletter!
