2008 Alumni Conference

Point’s second annual Alumni Conference was held in Oak Brook, Illinois in conjunction with the organization’s Leadership Conference on July 24-25, 2008. A total of twenty-three Point Alumni convened to focus on topics such as career development, family planning, finance and investment training. The conference agenda consisted of workshops, panel sessions, social and networking opportunities and planning time tailored to meeting the needs of a new and evolving alumni group.

During the conference, Point’s Alumni announced their successful effort in collaboratively raising more than $10,000 through a matching grant challenge from Point Mentor Leslie Wilkes. The funds were contributed back to Point Foundation as a generous token of appreciation, commitment and support.

Point Alumni are highly diverse individuals with tremendous leadership skills. All are committed to using their talents and education to contribute to society and to the LGBT community. They are also dedicated to giving back to Point and its diverse scholar group.
