Clubs & Groups

There was little news from Dartmouth clubs and groups this time around, with the notable exception of the Dartmouth Club of New York (DCNY). The club put on an outstanding sports-related event that other clubs and groups should consider as well.

Barry Weeks ’72, executive director, wrote in to share that DCNY hit a home run with a virtual sports panel event on April 19. More than 120 people signed up to attend and close to $1,000 was raised for the DCNY scholarship fund. Attendees heard about the excitement and challenges of managing professional national and regional sports businesses and teams—from the boardroom to a myriad of playing fields and ski and snowboarding slopes!

The moderator was Russell Wolff ’89, Tu’94, executive VP and general manager of ESPN+ and head of business operations of ESPN Networks. Panelists included Tiger Shaw ’85, former president and CEO of U.S. ski and snowboard teams and currently CEO of Wasatch Peaks Ranch in Utah; Dave Howard ’82, former executive of the NY Mets and MSG Sports and now president of EPIC Select; and Bianca Smith ’12, a coach with the Boston Red Sox. The program was coordinated by the DCNY speaker series chair Dorothy Price Hill ’88 with helpful collaboration by technology committee chair Janet Lieberman ’96, president Charles Allison Jr. ’78, vice president Katie Paxton ’11, and Barry Weeks.

Thank you for all you do for Dartmouth alumni! Please send me updates about the great events that you and your club members have organized.
