ELAM's "State of the Union"
 
Last Wednesday, ELAM held a "State of the Union" call - a new effort from us to keep alumnae and our community up to date with all of the ELAM happenings. This past phone call relayed a lot of information on staff changes, past events, new initiatives, and upcoming events and opportunities to get involved. You can access all the information shared on the call by reviewing the PowerPoint slides here or watching a video of the webinar here. The next State of the Union call will be scheduled for January 2020, so keep an eye on the Edge for the date and time. Please contact Barbara Overholser ( bro29@drexel.edu) with any questions.
 
 
ELAM Database Survey: Your response needed!
 
Your help is needed in getting a thorough update of our ELAM database. One of the main ways we use our database is to partner with institutions and search firms to identify candidates for leadership roles. We are looking to confirm your basic contact information as well as information about your career experience and specialties to better connect you with your fellow ELUMs and with search firms. You also have the option to let us know if you no longer wish to be contacted by search firms. The survey should only take a few minutes to complete. Please access the survey here. Thank you for your time!
 
 
Volunteers Needed!
 
We are currently in need of several volunteers to serve on two 25th Anniversary Event Committees:
  • How to Write a Successful Award Nomination
  • Women on Boards
For more information on these volunteer opportunities, please contact Barbara Overholser at bro29@drexel.edu or 215.991.8834. Thank you in advance for your time and talents!
