Executive Committee Member Spotlight
Lynne Dewyre
Executive Director of Development and Alumni Relations
Hiram College
- How many years have you been a member of ICAA? Of the executive committee?
- I’ve been a member of ICAA for 18 years between the three different institutions I have worked at. I have been a member of the executive committee for a little over a year.
- What is your favorite ICAA event of the year?
- My favorite event is most definitely the summer conference. The conference is filled with a wealth of information from various perspectives regarding Advancement work. It has also been a fabulous way to connect with others in our community and utilize them as resources.
- What is your favorite ICAA memory?
- One of my favorite ICAA memories was my first time going to the conference in 2000 when I worked for Siena Heights University and the joy of knowing there were others to connect with who could relate to the highs and lows of what we do. Last year, coming to the conference a bit early and getting to know more people on the Executive Committee and the Conference Planning Committee was a blast sharing our best advancement stories!
- What is a fun fact about you?
- A fun fact about me is that I am really into popular culture, not just for the ‘fun’ side of it but also for the sociological and historical side of it. I was lucky enough to work as a student worker for four years in the nationally renowned Popular Culture Library at Bowling Green State University. That time helped ignite my interest in something that was already a big interest of mine. I love the popular culture of the 80s and would challenge almost anyone in trivia about that time.
