______________________________________________________________________________________ 18 ALUMNI GUIDEBOOK Welcome INTRODUCTION Welcome to the Reed College Alumni Board and to your handy-dandy Alumni Board Guidebook. We have put together a number of descriptive blurbs and documents to help you understand how you came to be here, with whom you’ll be working, and what kinds of opportunities you may encounter in your role as a board member. The guidebook is intended to serve as both an introduction – give it a perusal when you get it, and acquaint yourself with its structure and contents – and a reference. Over the course of your term on the board, questions may arise as to how the committees are organized, what the roles of the different committees and individuals are, what’s expected of you as a board member, etc. This should be your go-to resource for answers to such questions. We’ve attempted to make the blurbs both informative and digestible, while providing lengthier documents and lists in the Appendix. The guidebook is very much a work in progress, so please feel free to provide feedback and suggestions to the board secretary (Kristen Earl, [email protected]). And again, welcome to the Alumni Board! Your Friendly Neighborhood Executive Committee Page 1 ALUMNI GUIDEBOOK The Board The Reed College Alumni Association Board of Directors, or the Alumni Board (AB) for short, is a national service board primarily directed to support the Reed community through its volunteer initiatives with the support of Alumni & Parent Relations staff at the College. It is not an advisory board to the College on policies, strategic planning, curriculum or function. The Alumni Board is distinct from area chapters, which plan and coordinate local events such as reading groups, picnics, and public service events. 2.1 VISION STATEMENT The Reed College Alumni Board aspires to strengthen the connections between Reed alumni and their alma mater; provide robust and diverse opportunities for alumni to engage with each other as well as with current students, faculty, and staff; provide leadership development opportunities in areas such as governance, strategic planning, and fundraising; and encourage and support efforts to develop new and creative ways to engage alumni in the life of the college.

The Alumni Board is distinct from area chapters, which plan and coordinate local events such as reading groups, picnics, and public service events.

  • VAWA”) Has Shined a Bright Light on Domestic Violence, Bringing the Issue out of the Shadows and Into the Forefront of Our Efforts to Protect Women and Families
    January 11, 2012 Dear Members of Congress, Since its passage in 1994, the Violence Against Women Act (“VAWA”) has shined a bright light on domestic violence, bringing the issue out of the shadows and into the forefront of our efforts to protect women and families. VAWA transformed the response to domestic violence at the local, state and federal level. Its successes have been dramatic, with the annual incidence of domestic violence falling by more than 50 percent1. Even though the advancements made since in 1994 have been significant, a tremendous amount of work remains and we believe it is critical that the Congress reauthorize VAWA. Every day in this country, abusive husbands or partners kill three women, and for every victim killed, there are nine more who narrowly escape that fate2. We see this realized in our home states every day. Earlier this year in Delaware, three children – ages 12, 2 ½ and 1 ½ − watched their mother be beaten to death by her ex-boyfriend on a sidewalk. In Maine last summer, an abusive husband subject to a protective order murdered his wife and two young children before taking his own life. Reauthorizing VAWA will send a clear message that this country does not tolerate violence against women and show Congress’ commitment to reducing domestic violence, protecting women from sexual assault and securing justice for victims. VAWA reauthorization will continue critical support for victim services and target three key areas where data shows we must focus our efforts in order to have the greatest impact: • Domestic violence, dating violence, and sexual assault are most prevalent among young women aged 16-24, with studies showing that youth attitudes are still largely tolerant of violence, and that women abused in adolescence are more likely to be abused again as adults.

  • Crime Victims United Sends Letter to Candidates Challenging Corrections Myths
    CRIMECRIME VICTIMSVICTIMS UNITEDUNITED P.O. Box 1896, Lake Oswego, OR 97035 • www.crimevictimsunited.org • [email protected] Dear Candidate: July 29, 2010 There is a disturbing amount of misleading information in the media these days about corrections in Oregon. A recent Register-Guard op ed1 repeated the dubious assertion that Oregon "now ranks No. 1 in the country in the percentage of general fund dollars spent on prisons." This is presented as evidence of "over-reliance on incarceration." According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, in 2008 Oregon ranked 30th in incarceration rate.2 How can Oregon rank number 1 in spending when we rank number 30 in incarceration rate? A member of the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission (OCJC) wrote in a May 25th Oregonian op ed3: "Measure 11 specifies certain crimes – from murder to second-degree robbery – carry a mandatory sentence. It applies to all defendants over the age of 15, requiring juveniles over 15 charged with these crimes to be tried as adults. The sentencing judge cannot give a lesser sentence than that prescribed by Measure 11." Pursuant to SB 1049 (1997) and HB 2379 (2001), bills supported by Crime Victims United, judges have discretion to depart from Measure 11 under certain circumstances.4 OCJC data shows that, in 2007, 40 percent of adult criminals and 55 percent of juveniles convicted of second-degree Measure 11 crimes received sentences below the Measure 11 mandatory minimum.5,6 In his June 25th speech7 on resetting government, Governor Kulongoski said: "Changes in sentencing policies since the mid-1990s, including the adoption of Measure 11, have doubled our prison population from 7,000 to more than 14,000 inmates.

Kurt Schrader was picked to succeed Darlene Hooley in Congress. Delegates met March 27 in Northeast Portland to discuss races in the May 20 primary. To endorse a candidate requires a two-thirds majority vote of delegates. Earlier this year, the Oregon AFL-CIO endorsed Jeff Merkley in the Democ- ratic primary for U.S. Senate and Ben Westlund for State Treasurer. Merkley is facing Steve Novick in the Democratic primary, with the winner taking on Re- publican incumbent Gordon Smith. Westlund is unopposed. Three Democratic state senators vying for secretary of state will fight it out in the primary without an endorsement from the AFL-CIO. The state labor fed- eration took no action in the race between Rick Metzger, Vicki Walker and Kate Brown. A motion just to consider endorsing in the race failed to get enough votes to proceed.
