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 />
