Established in the fall of 2001, the President’s Associates are a society of donors committed to making contributions of $1,000 or more each year to the Annual Fund. The generous support of these alumnae/i and friends is used in a variety of ways, including financial aid, faculty development, student activities, and buildings and grounds maintenance.

Last year, 217 alumnae/i, trustees, and friends gave at the President’s Associate level. Their loyal participation boosted the 2006-2007 Annual Fund by more than $556,000.
All President's Associates receive:

• An invitation to the President's Associates Reception
• An invitation to the President's Associates Spring Event 
• Special recognition in the Annual Report

To carry on the critical work of fostering the development of tomorrow’s leaders, the Mount needs support at the President’s Associates level. Membership in the President’s Associates can be achieved for less than $20 per week.

A corporate matching gift can be included in your President's Associates level gift.

The members of the President's Associates Council encourage alumnae/i and friends to join the President's Associates.

Fall Reception
Each fall the President’s Associates are recognized with a reception in their honor. At this reception, awards are presented in recognition of distinguished alumni achievement. These awards, called Ad Laudem Dei, honor individuals whose business or professional life is of national significance and illustrates that service is not only an activity but also an approach to the responsibilities of the work.
