Message from the RAA President

As the holiday season quickly approaches, I would like to take a moment to say thank you for all that you have done for RAND in the past year. It means so much that you continue to stay connected by attending our events and sharing your news with us. Alumni have shaped RAND—and continue to define RAND’s legacy.

While it’s with a heavy heart that we share news here of the recent passing of seminal alumni, I hope you will find joy and inspiration in the stories about the honors our alumni continue to receive and the innovative research and analysis our experts continue to produce.

With your support, our researchers are able to do even more. To this end, I hope you will consider making a gift to the Alumni Impact Fund (AIF). I recently made my own contribution, and I challenge you to follow my lead and help us reach our goal. The two previous AIF campaigns were a success—each surpassed the $100,000 goal—and we need to match this achievement again this year.

Thank you again for your loyalty and ongoing support.

Natalie Crawford
President
RAND Alumni Association
