On June 17, the Cardozo Alumni Association held its best-attended annual meeting since its inception four years ago. Alumni shared their ideas on how to improve alumni relations and volunteered to participate on Association committees. Official business included voting for the alumni representatives who will serve two-year terms on the executive committee.

Accomplishments of the past term include:

• the chair of the Alumni Association to be recognized as an ex officio member of the Cardozo Board of Directors
• Rosemary Byrne ’80 recognized as Alumna of the Year at the first Alumni Awards Ceremony
• Cardozo’s first graduating class celebrated its 25th reunion
• a series of continuing legal education programs
• alumni receptions in California, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, and New York
• social and cultural events such as The Nutcracker and Yankees Opening Day
• alumni-student mentoring and networking

The executive committee meets once a month to address issues that affect alumni, plan meaningful events to promote graduates and assist them in their career development, and help the Law School achieve its ambitious goals. Please contact the Office of Alumni Affairs if you would like to participate on a committee. The future success of the Law School depends on alumni involvement.
