NAHS ALUMNI ASSOCIATION ESTABLISHES NEW CLASS AGENTS PROGRAM

The newest initiative from the NAHS Alumni Association allows graduates to take a more active role in the group by volunteering to serve as a Class Agent.

As the association grows and expands it's programs, it is aiming to establish more direct links and points of contact with at least one member of each of the school's graduating classes.

In addition to serving as the liaison between the Alumni Association and their fellow classmates, Class agents will help generate news for the group's seasonal e-newsletters, suggest potential nominees for our annual Alumni Awards program, and maybe help identify potential donors who can help us meet our annual fundraising goals.

Anyone interested in serving as a Class Agent is invited to e-mail NAHS Alumni Association Secretary Jack Johnson (Class of '80) at jjohnson@naschools.net
