FUNDRAISING AND ALUMNI RELATIONS REPORT
January 1,2007 - April 30, 2007
Successes
On March 29, AUS held its 4th Annual Horace Mann Awards. The event broke all previous
records, raising $36,168 for the scholarship endowment. The event was underwritten by 24
sponsors who contributed $21,000 in sponsorships and $1,000 in in-kind services. The Diamond
'Sponsor ($5,000) was BECU. Platinum Sponsors ($2,500) were Embassy Development and
Essential Consulting. Gold Sponsors ($1,000) were Group Health Cooperative, Miller Nash, the
Suquamish Tribe, the Tulalip Tribe and US Bank - Student Banking Division. Silver Sponsors
($500) were the Academy of Coach Training, Buck & Gordon, Clise Properties, Global Business
Development Solutions, the Heritage Institute, IKEA Seattle, Keeney's Office Plus, National
Education, Ron Wright & Associates and Cassandra Espinoza-Rowe. Bronze Sponsors ($250)
were the Center for the Promotion of Learning Abilities; Martin, Browne, Hull & Harper,
Northwest Capital Partners, and Premera Blue Cross. In-kind Sponsors were the Follett
Corporation and Printex Press. Ron Reagan served as the keynote speaker and alumna Mauri
Moore, the former West Coast producer for NBC Nightly News, served as the emcee. Award
recipients were Jack Hamann, author of On American Soil; Susan Warner, director of programs
for the Museum of Glass; and Wendy Rosen, core faculty and director of the .First Peoples'
Program. It was the most successful event to date with 246 guests attending.
AUS received a $15,000 grant from the Seattle Foundation and a $15,000 from the Sharon and
Mark Bloome Fund of the Tides Foundation to launch a Legacy Leadership Institute through
our Center for Continuing Education. Proposals are also pending to the Weyerhaeuser and
Medina Foundations for this institute.
AUS has its first alumni chapter. Faculty and some 33 alumni from the Center for Creative
Change attended the April 28th event, in which they renewed relationships, shared similar
passions, created a book club and vowed to have more such gatherings throughout the year.
Alumnus Chris Fontana, M.A. Whole Systems Design '98, was selected as the recipient of the
2007 Distinguished Alumni Award, which he will receive at Commencement on Saturday, June
9. He is one of the founders of the Seattle-based non-profit Global Visionaries, which aims to get
high school students out of the classroom and into the world to become global citizens. Fontana
has been the executive director since the organization's founding in 1997.
More than 25 alumni from different programs met to brainstorm what new signature events could
be offered through the Office of Continuing Education. Camp Antioch, a summer camp weekend
for grownups, will be held July 28-29 at Camp Burton on Vashon Island. Organized activities
may include participatory dance, games, theater or comedy improvisation, creative arts,
storytelling, hikes on the beach, campfires and "chewy" conversations - all designed to renew
friendships and make new friends.
Opportunities'and Challenges
Raising unrestricted funds continues to be a challenge. The Fall Phonathon raised only $12,058
with a 5.44% responserate. A fiscalyear-enddirectmail appeal is beingsent to 830 lapsed
donorsto make up some of that difference.
A mailingincludinga Sharpebrochurewas sentto alumni aged 70 and olderto infonnthem

Creatingopportunitiesto have alumni gatherwithnew PresidentDr. CassandraManuelito
Kerkvliet and finding ways to both contact and gather together early alumni (1976-1985) are
high prioritiesin the comingmonths.
