On January 20, 2007, more than 20 alumni gathered at the offices of Exude Benefits in Philadelphia to participate in the first set of alumni association committee meetings. Many brothers sat through all five meeting sessions, offering their input and suggestions. The IHQ was represented by the Executive Director, Gary Sanders and Leadership Consultant, Jared Vasold.

Committees

Five committees were established:

• Event Planning
• Finance
• House
• Reorganization
• University Relations

Each committee meeting began with a statement of purpose followed by the election of a committee chair, vice chair and secretary. Highly productive discussions ensued, long and short term goals were set, and finally tasks were assigned.

Following the meetings, brothers continued informal discussions over libations at the Cherry Street Tavern. Many thanks to Christian Stearns for opening his business offices for our meetings, and thanks to all those who attended.
