Hello Alumni,<br />

My name is Brandon<br />

Saylor '03, and I am the<br />

new President of the<br />

Alumni Association for<br />

<strong>Sandia</strong> <strong>Prep</strong>. I graduated<br />

<strong>Prep</strong> in 2003 and then<br />

went on to get my<br />

bachelors degree at the University of Colorado<br />

at Boulder. I am currently living in Albuquerque,<br />

working as a broker for Colliers International, a<br />

commercial real estate brokerage firm.<br />

My three years at <strong>Prep</strong> were some of the finest<br />

years in my life. I want to make sure the school that<br />

provided so much for me continues to give to future<br />

generations. Alumni participation plays a key role<br />

in ensuring preservation of the school's values and<br />

principles that made this learning institution so great.<br />

Not only am I the President of the Alumni<br />

Association, but I am also on the Board of Trustees<br />

and have participated in numerous fundraising<br />

events for the school. I feel it is the least I can do to<br />

give back. <strong>2016</strong> marks 50 years of success for the<br />

school, and it is an extraordinary time to be a part of<br />

this organization. My hope is for the generations of<br />

alumni before me, and after me, to come together to<br />

write the next 50 years of success for the school. Let’s<br />

make this happen!<br />
