Meet the Nominees for the AAA Board of Trustees
As the Assumption Alumnae Association looks ahead to another year of meaningful service and community building, we are proud to present the distinguished nominees for the Board of Trustees.
Each one is an inspiring woman whose professional expertise, personal commitments, and Assumption formation uniquely prepare her to help lead our alumnae into the future. Representing different generations and diverse fields, they embody the values of humility, simplicity, service, and fidelity that we all hold dear. And while this year’s slate amusingly includes three Andreas and two Christines, they prove that they are much more than just shared names — they are strong, committed women ready to serve with passion, purpose, and the true spirit of an Assumption alumna.
