ATTENTION ALUMNI OF ARKANSAS GOVERNOR’S SCHOOL. I am looking for volunteers. According to the AGS website https://www.hendrix.edu/ags/, AGS will be from June 14-July 25, 2015. If tradition continues, tht means we will need to recruit a speaker to speak for July 23, 2015 in the early afternoon. If we want to have alumni day in the same format as last year, we need to plan that as well. I will post a survey within a week to see gauge programming interest. I got an estimate to build an AGS website and that total was $2800. I would like to be more streamlined and have monthly meetings (with phone in or video chat capabilities) either during lunch 12-1 CST or in the early evening 5:30-7:00. If you have a preference on that please let me know.

Pretty much everything is open including treasurer, parliamentarian, social chair, chair elect, fundraising committee (with chair), speaker committee (with chair), and class reps. If you are interested, please message me via facebook or send me an email at melissa.sawyer@gmail.com.

We have had two amazing speakers as part of our annual speaker series: Doug Shipman (Class of 90) the Chief Executive Officer of the Natinal Center for Civil and Human Rights who spoke in 2013 and Karama Neal (Class of 88) who promotes equity in health, education, and opportunity through teaching, research, practice, advocacy and service. We should definitely have another one.

If you would like to participate, please comment here (it is screened but I will get an email address), contact me via Facebook, or email me at melissa dot sawyer at gmail dot com.
