NSOE Triangle Area Alumni Network Advisory Board
Gene Stroup and some others who have been helping to lead events in the Triangle Area are working to form an advisory board. This group would meet two to three times a year to brainstorm on opportunities for interaction and discuss collaborative events. This will be a low time investment group but will provide visionary input on making the Triangle Network more meaningful and rewarding. We hope to engage alumni, students, faculty and staff in this group. We have some folks who have expressed interest, but we need more! If you are interested in participating, please contact Gene Stroup (919-740-9942 or jestroup@yahoo.com).
