By concentrating efforts on a defined group of potential President’s Council members, four subcommittees will work towards the following specific objectives:

  Increasing the percentage of President’s Council donors who renew their current membership.

 
Soliciting alumni who have shown the propensity to give at the President’s Council level.

  Boosting annual gifts from select President’s Council members.

What Volunteers Say About Their Experience

Steve Sonnenberg PhD Geol ’81
, exploitation manager of Westport Resources Corporation’s Northern Division says, “I’m honored to have a degree from CSM. My degree has served me well in both my career and involvement in professional societies, including my recent position as president-elect of AAPG. The least I can do is be active in alumni activities and fundraising. I strongly believe every graduate should give something back to the School and I have found that the majority truly enjoy doing so.”

Dave Drummond PE ’75, owner and operator of PowerTuff Corporation in Houston, notes, “I had been looking for a way to get involved with the School, plus I wanted to help other folks recognize the benefits of being a Mines graduate. Working with the President’s Council Committee helps me to achieve both of these goals. Even in tough financial times when I was starting my own company after being downsized, I’ve chosen to maintain my President’s Council membership and keep Mines a priority.”
