Alumni group going strong

The Smithsonian Alumni Program for retirees and other former staff members is closing in on 175 members!  Started in June 2009, we continue to grow through word-of-mouth and some outreach by the Office of Human Resources on their retirement preparation website.

In October, 26 alums and a few spouses visited the National Museum of the Marine Corps in Quantico, Va.  Our visit was hosted by Lin Ezell, museum director and formerly with the Air and Space Museum. Atendees included former staff from the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center, Office of Facilities Engineering and Operations, Photo Services, Office of the Secretary, Accessibility, Office of Government Relations, Office of the General Counsel, the National Zoo and other units.  If you wish to join the Alumni group, send an e-mail to:  tannermpiphi@gmail.com.
