INTERESTED IN GETTING INVOLVED?
WE NEED YOU!
We'd love to have more people organizing gatherings in more cities around Germany - it doesn't have to be any more formal than offering to make a reservation at a beer garden/pub/pizzeria and allowing us to get the word out.
In addition, we two board positions that will be opening up next year.
Our Alumni Schools Committee (ASC) Coordinator is the fabulous Frankfurt-based Rebecca Haltzel-Haas. She writes, " my youngest son has evidenced an interest in applying to Yale - he graduates in 2026, so I can continue as ASC Director this cycle, but if there’s any chance he’ll apply I need to step down. (And I’ve been doing this since Fall 2011, so this is my 14th year). I have a 2 page Overview for Directors from the ASC Portal that I can provide. The job really only exists between November and April and then is dormant until the next year (give how large our geographic region is, we rarely do recruiting events and the few applicants who get in are invited to a Stammtisch or local gathering near them - but we don’t have a big enough pool to be sponsoring yield events anyway)." The job is basically to coordinate the interviews of the applicants to Yale within Germany.
Our Treasurer is the equally fabulous Berlin-based Hans-Christian Siller, who would like to step down after over a decade of being in the post. He describes the requirements as being an EU national (no US citizen as account holder - complicates things), handling club payments in Google sheet (tracking donations, refunding expenses, saving all receipts in Google Drive), giving brief financial report at annual meetings, issuing donation receipts for larger donations (using template, getting pdf), submitting a super simple bare bones tax receipt every three years (contains simple gewinn/verlustrechnung, plus kassenstände zum Jahresende).
If you think you might be able to help out with either of these positions or have questions, please contact me for more information (email president@yaleclub.de)
A very Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and as we say here, wishing you all a good slide into 2025 - I hope to see you at one of our events in the coming year!
Boola Boola from Munich,
