BSUAA 1999-2000 Annual Report, Executive Message Annual Report Thank you for your interest in, and continued involvement with, the Ball State University Alumni Executive Message Association. On the following pages we will publicly report the past year's achievements and Organizational accomplishments of the BSUAA. Flow Chart I am fortunate to serve as executive director of the Alumni Leadership Ball State University Alumni Association and as an administrative official for our 113,922 alumni. The Alumni academic year 1999-2000 was one of expanded Ambassadors activity, reconnection, and technology advancement for the BSUAA. Alumni Contacts Mary Link, Connersville, and Tony Schneider, Indianapolis, led your Alumni Staff governing body, the Alumni Council, during the past fiscal year. They and the university administration should be congratulated for Alumni Programs providing the vision to create a valuable and vibrant Alumni Association. Alumni Awards The most visible new project for the past year was the establishment of CART (Cardinal Alumni Recruitment Team), a group of alumni Alumni Reunions from around the country who volunteer to assist the BSUAA to identify, recruit, and retain quality students for Ball State University. Professional and Currently we have 44 CART members in 11 states and have Constituent awarded ten $500 scholarships to successfully recruited students. Societies Traditional activities: reunions, Alumni College Weekend, alumni golf Financial Summary outings, Homecoming, and the production of the Ball State Alumnus were very successful and provided excellent opportunities for Past Activities individuals to reconnect with the campus and other alumni. Our Calendar service programs: Cardinal Alumni Retail Discount (CARD), alumni insurance programs, and First USA affinity credit card continued to expand and add benefit for individual alumni. Finally, the revamping of our BSUAA Web site and its increased usage by our alumni are both rewarding and predictive of the future. With the close of academic year 2000, University President John E. Worthen retired after 16 successful years of leadership. The BSUAA benefited greatly during his tenure. A few examples were the opening of the Alumni Center, the addition of 52,839 new alumni (this represents 46.4% of all Ball State alumni), and the reorganization of the BSUAA in 1988. Through his leadership, support, and tolerance, the BSUAA has a structure for the future, has become one of the best in the Mid-American Conference, and is one of the top-50 alumni associations in the country. It has been my privilege to participate in this extremely rewarding year, the productive results of which have come from countless hours of effort by our dedicated alumni volunteers and staff. Their contributions have guided us through another successful year of serving a diverse alumni population. THANK YOU! Your investment is both appreciated and greatly respected.
