  <body><![CDATA[<p>With 15,000+ alumni noting that they are professionals in Supply Chain &amp; Logistics (SC&amp;L), we believe that we should explore the creation of a new alumni affinity group within the Alumni Association. Proposed initial goals are to:</p><ul><li>Reconnect the SC&amp;L alumni of Georgia Tech with one another as well as to the current Tech student body, both professionally and socially</li><li>Keep our alumni updated on current activities both on campus and around the world</li><li>Promote and support SC&amp;L student organizations at Georgia Tech through mentoring, speaker events, and networking</li><li>Provide a forum to promote life-long learning and career enrichment in SC&amp;L</li></ul><p>We now seek your involvement! In order to form this group, we are asking all interested alumni and friends of Georgia Tech to <strong>complete the form at&nbsp;<a href="http://www.scl.gatech.edu/sclaffinity" target="_self">www.scl.gatech.edu/sclaffinity</a>&nbsp;</strong>for us to gather and gauge interest as well as understand how potential members would like to be involved (we are open to your suggestions and ideas) in this exciting new initiative.</p>]]></body>

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
