The President’s Message
By Bethany Boyd

I’m helping to plan for my 20th high school reunion. A group of us living in the Metroplex have congregated several times in order to track down former classmates. When we looked at our list, the task of locating everyone seemed impossible! Where would we start? Who still lives in Hereford, TX? What about contacting their parents? Our best idea was to place a list of the “missing” in the local newspaper. We’re still waiting for responses. I passed the list on to a friend who has lived in Hereford since graduation, and she spotted 51 “missing” classmates that could be easily be contacted. All it took was getting the information into the right hands!

My goal this year is to increase membership in our Pharmacy Alumni Association. In my job, I come in contact with a College of Pharmacy alumnus at least once a week. I make it my duty to ask if they are a member of the Alumni Association. If not, I send them an electronic application form. College alumni may not “come across your desk” as often as they do mine, but you can do your part by contacting some of your classmates or co-workers and encouraging them to join. They are probably right under your nose, where you least expect them!
