Spring has sprung and the Gloom period is FINALLY over at West Point!
1. Just around the corner is the DC Leaders Conference on 12 May.
The 2016 DC-area class leaders conference will take place on 12 May at the Fort Myer Officers Club, Lamplighter Room. You may come earlier and stay later but the formal part of the meeting will take place from 1100 to 1400 hrs. Cost is $21 for those who want the buffet.
If you have not already done so, please notify Bill DeGraf at peredg@aol.com of who will be attending from your class.
2. Christine Merkel has joined our Alumni Support team as the new Memorial Services Coordinator. Christine will also be supporting Rachel Coleman, our new Career Services Director, with Career Services. Please welcome them both!
3. Please remind your classes to update their contact information online in their WPAOG profile or by emailing address@wpaog.org.
4. Founders Day Video
The link to the Superintendent’s Founders Day video is posted on the WPAOG Vimeo page - vimeo.com/user22658752. It is a GREAT informative video. Be sure to watch it!
5. Mark your Calendars
June 1-7 West Point will participate in the third annual All Academy Challenge, in which we compete against Air Force, Coast Guard, Merchant Marine, and Navy for the highest percentage of alumni participation. During the 7-day challenge, graduates will receive a series of emails and updates, similar to last year, encouraging participation by making a gift of any size to any Margin of Excellence fund. If you would like more information or to become a social media volunteer for this effort, please contact Emily Bitteker, Assistant Director of Annual Giving, atEmily.Bitteker@wpaog.org. GO ARMY!
Be sure to watch yours truly in the upcoming video for the Challenge!

The Summit is the seminal convening event for all graduates of the U.S. service academies (and their spouses/partners/friends) and focuses on professional development, networking, learning from global leaders, sharing experiences, leadership, service and exposure to new ideas and opportunities. The Summit features renown, VIP speakers from business, government and the non-profit sector as well as a Career Workshop and "Deal Huddles."
