Members of the Class of 2007 enjoy their 5th reunion celebration

From the Alumnae Board President I would like to thank Lindsay Austin Louie ’98, outgoing President of the Alumnae Association Executive Committee (AAEC), and the other members of the committee for the amazing work they have accomplished over the past three years. Lindsay created a fully functioning leadership group supporting and promoting all aspects of the alumnae program. The AAEC has encouraged and planned regional activities, restructured Reunion Weekend, further developed the alumnae annual fund program, created an internship program, and improved our direct communication using social media. I look forward to her continued support and leadership on the committee. Casti has always been a part of my life. The education I received and the connections I have made provide a unique foundation that supports my journey through life. I joined the Alumnae Executive Association two years ago to re-engage alumnae through regional events. Whenever I meet a Casti alumnae there is a certain level of comfort I feel. An instant connection because we all share the unique experience of attending an extraordinary school. We are a powerful network of 3,500 women, their families, and friends who are the leaders in our businesses and communities throughout the world. We continue to learn from each other when we connect through alumnae events, networking programs, and communications. Castilleja’s ACE Center allows alumnae to lead by example in mentoring the next generation of students through internships or the sharing of life experiences.

As the new President, my goal is to bring Castilleja back into the lives of alumnae. To help with this effort, we have added two new alumnae to our executive committee — Laura Dennis MacLean ’90 who will manage regional events and Liz Rowen Fritz ’01, who will serve on the ACE Center Advisory Board and be their liaison to the AAEC. As I take on this new leadership role, I challenge you, the alumnae, to bring Castilleja back into your life. Attend one of our regional events, mentor a student, or communicate with your class and see how reconnecting with Castilleja can enrich your life.
