WE BELIEVE THAT OUR ALUMNI COMPRISE AN INTEGRAL AND INSEPARABLE PART OF CWU AND THAT ALL ALUMNI HAVE A CONTINUING OBLIGATION TO SERVE AND SUPPORT THEIR ALMAMATER.WE BELIEVE THAT OUR ALUMNI CAN SERVE CWU BY JOINING TOGETHER IN AN ORGANIZED ASSOCIATION WHICH CAN PROMOTE AND FOCUS SUPPORT AND SERVICE AND THAT THE CONCEPTS FOR DEVELOPING THE ASSOCIATION'S ORGANIZATIONAL POLICIES SHOULD BE DETERMINED BY THE ALUMNI THEMSELVES.WE BELIEVE THAT IT SHOULD BE THE FUNCTION OF ASSOCIATION TO WORK WITH CWU TO DEVELOP WAYS AND MEANS OF ALUMNI ENGAGEMENT, INVOLVEMENT AND COMMUNICATION WITH THEIR ALMA MATER AND TO SEE THAT ALUMNI ARE RECOGNIZED AS A RESPECTED AND INTEGRAL PART OF CWU.THE WORK WE DO IS GUIDED BY THREE STRATEGIC PRINCIPLES:CONNECT = OUTREACHENGAGE = BUILD PARTICIPATIONLEAD = DEVELOP LEADERS AND PHILANTHROPIC PARTNERTHE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION HAS MADE TREMENDOUS PROGRESS AS WE HAVE SOUGHT TO EXPAND OUTREACH AND PARTICIPATION. THE ASSOCIATION CONTINUES TO LOOK FOR CREATIVE PROGRAM OPPORTUNITIES INCLUDING ON CAMPUS, LOCAL, STATE, AND AWARENESS OF THE PROGRAMS AND SUPPORT OFFERED BY THE ASSOCIATION. THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ALUMNI PLAZA HAS NOT ONLY CREATED A PLACE FOR ALUMNI TO GATHER ON CAMPUS BUT IS ALSO DOUBLING AS THE COMMENCEMENT STAGE WHERE WE ARE ABLE TO WELCOME OUR MOST RECENT ALUMNI. WE CONTINUE TO PARTNER WITH OUR WILDCAT NETWORK OFFICERS TO INCREASE OUR CAPACITY FOR FACE-TO-FACE VISITS AND TO STRENGTHEN OUR WILDCAT BRAND ACROSS THE STATE. WHILE MUCH OF OUR FOCUS CONTINUES TO BE ON CONNECTING OUR CURRENT STUDENTS WITH OUR ALUMNI, WE ARE ALSO EXCITED TO PROMOTE AND MARKET OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALUMNI TO GIVE BACK TO THE INSTITUTION IN SUPPORT OF SCHOLARSHIPS. 38917 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 17 17 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 X JULIANA LOWE 5099632760 400 E UNIVERSITY WAY ELLENSBURG WA 98926 EMILY ADAMS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 12.00 16.00 X 0 152633 47207 JADA RUPLEY PRESIDENT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 CRAIG SANDERSON PRESIDENT ELECT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 ANDREW MORK PAST PRESIDENT (THRU 10/2024) 1.00 X X 0 0 0 JANA DECKER TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 RENEE BERNAZZANI SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 BETHANY WARREN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 EDITH ROJAS HALSTEAD BOARD MEMBER (THRU 10/2024) 1.00 X 0 0 0 CARI HORNING BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 GABE SMITH BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 JASON BERTHON-KOCH BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 JASUN AUBERT BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 KATHEY HATFIELD BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 KIANA SHAW BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 LINDSEY DECKER BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 LISA PILKINTON BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 MISHA LINN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 SAM GUTIERREZ BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 STACEY SATTLER BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 TONY ARONICA BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 0 152633 47207 0 0 1 0 0 10511 168044 26665 178555 25430 25430 10944 10944 107934 81548 26386 26386 26386 28885 10511 16010 12875 12875 OTHER REVENUE 900099 5001 5001 5001 259191 5001 0 75635 5981 5981 19351 13596 3056 2699 2496 2496 4195 969 1231 1995 2382 1496 531 355 6579 5600 149 830 15747 3775 10380 1592 4286 3284 321 681 3985 1816 2157 12 PROGRAM SUPPORTS 3794 2383 846 565 MISCELLANEOUS EXPENSES 36 17 19 68832 38917 21186 8729 19827 28427 0 125000 844074 958437 863901 1111864 0 0 X 730952 989050 132949 122814 863901 1111864 863901 1111864 190359 57604 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X X 1 CENTRAL WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY 916000618 2 1 5981 0 1 5981 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 X PART IV, SECTION D, LINE 2: THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION SERVES AS ADVOCATES FOR THE UNIVERSITY DESIGNING PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES THAT SUPPORT AND ENHANCE THE INSTITUTION AND FURTHER THE EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES OF THE CWU STUDENTS PROVIDING SCHOLARSHIP AND EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT AND RESOURCES.
