Dear UC Alumni Advisory Board members,
There will be no snow at University Row so I hope you are all enjoying today’s snow day!
John Valva, Charles and I had a post-retreat meeting yesterday and aim to send you follow-up retreat materials within the next two weeks. In the meantime, I wanted to remind you all about tomorrow’s University Row Kick-off party that will begin at 7pm at The Arts Club of Washington, which is located at 2017 I St. NW. The party will begin with a 7pm meeting, followed by the actual party. If you can, try to arrive a few minutes before 7pm so that we can start the meeting on time.
As agreed at Saturday’s retreat, University Row is our first all-UC event for 2013 and attending the kick-off party is an excellent way for you to learn more about University Row (for those who didn’t attend last year) as well as to meet/network with other alumni leaders from the 70+ universities that participated last year. Remember, as partner schools for the UC tent you do not have a financial obligation but will still be relied upon to help promote the event and ticket sales to your respective alumni club members. Additionally, we may need a couple of people from your alumni clubs to volunteer for the event which makes it even more enjoyable for them because they are contributing to the Row’s success!
I have attached a copy of the Partner Agreement for you to review that every partner UC campus will have to sign (Cal, UCLA and UC Davis will be co-anchoring the double-wide tent), and it would be ideal if all UC Partner Agreements can be signed and returned at tomorrow’s party.
We want to make sure to represent the west coast and UC system this year at University Row by being the first tent to sell-out when tickets go on sale this month. Speaking of ticket sales, please start promoting the event with you various alumni clubs through Facebook, emails, etc. We are happy to provide a template for you to use if you don’t know how to promote it properly. I highly, highly encourage every single one of you to attend tomorrow night’s kick-off party and please be sure to RSVP so that you can get your drink ticket. At the very least I hope that each UC campus will be represented tomorrow night.
