effort to build a worldwide alumni regional chapter
network for Tufts University. In 2002, there were 12

in the Office of Alumni Relations, Gretchen travels
the world to facilitate alumni engagement and serves

Chris Carter currently serves as
the Director for Alumni and Volunteer Engagement at
Saint Mary’s College of California. He holds
a BA and an MA in Psychology, and has worked in higher
education since 2003. In his role as director, he manages
all alumni and development volunteer committees and
boards, and he has oversight over all college advancement
events. Carter received nationwide attention in 2009
from coordinating an event celebrating and re-enacting
the 50th Anniversary of the famous phone booth stuffing
photo that made the cover of Time Life magazine. The
story was picked up by more than 300 news outlets worldwide.
 Robert Kozlowski '50 was
winemaker at Kenwood Winery in Sonoma County. In 1996,
Kozlowski helped establish the "Class of '50 Think
Tank," a group of classmates that has raised money
for a variety of causes at the College. During their
50th reunion year, this group started the Class of
'50 Scholarship Fund, the first scholarship created
by a Saint Mary's class, which now stands at $560,000.
A proud beneficiary and advocate of the College's winemaking
tradition, Kozlowski founded the Gaels in Wine alumni
chapter in 2008, which now has 100 members working
in the industry.
 Since 2000, David has been serving as president of
the San Francisco Tufts Alliance, the Bay Area chapter
of the TUAA. After being elected chair of the TUAA's
Regional Programs Committee in 2007, he led annual
symposia for domestic and international leaders, training
them to build management potential, develop better
events, and recruit and retain members. In 2009, he
received the sixth annual TUAA Young Alumni Achievement
Award for his breadth of service. Additionally, David
runs Residency Support, an advising firm that helps
international medical graduates find positions in American
residency programs by strengthening their writing and
interviewing skills.
Advancement professionals work with alumni volunteers
every week in their work. Development, alumni relations,
and parent programs offices have an opportunity to
create mutually beneficial relationships with volunteers
of all ages, even the challenging ones. In this workshop,
we'll consider best practices for recruiting, training,
and stewarding alumni volunteers through various programs.
We will also focus on ways to recognize volunteers,
and how to support a successful volunteer relations
program with limited resources.
