Changes on the horizon<br />
your dental alumni association board has been<br />
extremely busy. We started the year by creating<br />
a strategic plan to help guide us through the next<br />
five years and have begun implementing changes to<br />
existing programs, planning new ones and achieving<br />
new records.<br />
At our annual <strong>Tufts</strong> Wide Open Golf and Tennis<br />
Tournament last September, we had our highest<br />
attendance in more than a decade and we raised<br />
$28,000 for the Student Loan Fund, a record for the<br />
event. This is greatly needed and appreciated by our students.<br />
We have decided on a change <strong>of</strong> location for the annual reunion weekend.<br />
Starting in 2014, we will hold the event at the Four Seasons Boston, within<br />
walking distance <strong>of</strong> the dental school. It requires a great deal <strong>of</strong> work to move a<br />
complex event, and Susan Ahearn, senior associate director <strong>of</strong> alumni relations,<br />
did a wonderful job handling the process.<br />
Another new component <strong>of</strong> reunion weekend in 2014 will be the inaugural<br />
<strong>Tufts</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>Dental</strong> Alumni Association Educational Symposium, a full day<br />
<strong>of</strong> continuing education held on Friday <strong>of</strong> reunion weekend. The symposium will<br />
be open to reunioners as well as nonreunion-year alumni who want to attend.<br />
Our budget and our ability to create<br />
programming is a direct result <strong>of</strong> our duespaying<br />
members, and we thank them. If you<br />
are not a dues-paying member, please join<br />
us and help us shape the <strong>Dental</strong> Alumni<br />
Association experience.<br />
I had the opportunity to meet with<br />
many <strong>of</strong> you during our receptions in San<br />
Francisco, New York and at Yankee <strong>Dental</strong><br />
Congress. Thank you for all you shared with<br />
me during these visits. It has been a great<br />
honor to serve as your president.<br />
