LETTER FROM THE NEW PRESIDENT

 2 June 2008 

Dear Shipmates, 

            I have recently taken over as the President of the Greater Washington Chapter from Jerry Farrell ’70.  I look forward to serving you over the next year and want to take this opportunity to tell you about some of the things we do as a Chapter. 

Our Chapter is the largest of all Naval Academy Alumni Chapters and we do our best to support awareness of the Naval Academy to potential candidates.   Rich Perry ’81 is a Director on our board and runs the candidate awareness program.  We use a large portion of your contributions to the chapter to host four events. Chapter members are encouraged to attend any of these events, which are summarized below. 
1.  Our "USNA Open House" in the fall is designed to bring in a large number of potential candidates (total audience with parents ~ 400-500).  The target audience consists of high school sophomores and juniors.  We hold two weekend events at the U.S. Navy Memorial in Washington, D.C. to maximize attendance.  It’s a comprehensive program including presentations by USNA Admissions, Blue and Gold Officers, the local parent’s club and Midshipmen.  
 2.  A candidate luncheon in March is designed to "close the deal" for candidates to whom USNA has extended offers of admission (direct or conditional) to USNA, NAPS, or for a Foundation Scholarship. The timing in March is designed to capture the candidates after USNA sends out the offers.  The Superintendent or Commandant is the principal speaker for the event.  We host the candidates, one parent and selected school counselors.
 3.  A candidate awareness briefing in mid-May is designed to reach a smaller audience (~200 parents and students) of high school sophomores and juniors to brief them on the latest information in the admissions process.  This event is typically a reception followed by a presentation from USNA admissions. 

            We have some excellent speakers planned for the monthly luncheons that start in September.  General Jack Klimp ‘68, the newly elected USNAAA Board of Trustees Vice Chairman, has agreed to be our first speaker.  If you support what we are doing please go to our website (http://www.usnaaagwc.org/) and make a contribution.
