These are tough economic times, and staying engaged with other professionals can pay off in a myriad of ways. You can find volunteers for a project, share advice, stay on top of the business environment, and grow your network. Do you need to attain additional skill sets for your current job or the future? Do you have expertise in an area you would like to share? You have a network with the LGM Alumni. What better way to access connections and opportunities then involve yourself with fellow LGMers?

Following are some opportunities that we have available right now.

Class Champion: Stay connected with your LGM class. We are looking for a couple of representatives from each class to aid the membership committee in staying connected.  The Alumni Association is in the midst of rolling out a comprehensive membership structure to fulfill our obligation of staying Informed. Engaged. Connected.  To volunteer to be one of your class champions, please contact Tim Hyland at hyland@visitmadison.com or 441-3950.  The work is simple, just help the Alumni Association communicate with your classmates and keep our information current. 

Event planning: Bryon Thompson (LGM 11) and Marcia Philipps Hyzer (LGM 7) are looking for a team of people to help coordinate the Indoor Mini-Golf outing in October. From catering to hole prizes to soliciting foursomes, there is a lot to do. Contact Bryon at bryon_thompson@adp.com or Marcia at milesperhour@charter.net.

Committee work: In addition, the following committees are looking for members: membership, community action team, and communications. If you are interested in a small time commitment with big pay off, consider joining. Contact Bryon Thompson at bryon_thompson@adp.com
