Leadership Workshop: Corporate Governance, Conflicts of Interest, and Ethical Dilemmas in Alumni Club Service 01/22/12 : As alumni club leaders, we face conflicts of interest and ethical dilemmas, are exposed to external liabilities, and are routinely dealing with issues involving governance.  The DAASV organized and hosted another half-day workshop for fellow Silicon Valley Ivy club leaders. This was a thought provoking, and highly practical discussion about corporate governance and liability issues facing all Ivy League alumni clubs. This seminar addressed myriad issues and provided numerous solutions.  Topics addressed included governance and compliance issues, conflicts of interest and ethical dilemmas, liability issues, and risk management.  Special thanks to Stefan Szulc of Marsh Risk & Insurance Services, and Douglas Park JD PhD of DYP Advisors for their generosity of time and expertise.

DAASV Overnight Adventure Aboard the USS Hornet 07/23/11 : Behold an overnight Dartmouth experience — for more than 130 alumni — aboard the USS Hornet, a WWII aircraft carrier that served in Korea, Vietnam, and the Apollo program.  The ship earned nine battle stars in WWII, hosted past presidents Nixon and Ford, recovered astronauts Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong from the moon, and was the set for Rescue Dawn with Christian Bale (in case astronauts and presidents weren’t enough).  Everything has been restored—down to the mess hall, where DAASV members were served dinner and breakfast. Our quarters are the original suspended three-tiered bunk beds linked together by chains, and one lucky alum got the admiral’s cabin set up last occupied by President Nixon (but that’s another story).  Programming included guided tours to special weapons, engine room, bridge, catapult, and brig areas.  Alumni experiences flight simulators, and children listened to ghost stories in the ship's foc'sle (or forecastle).  And while there’s that element of roughing it aboard ship, it’s nothing a little beer pong in the Ward Room couldn’t fix.  Roughing it is better with beer pong.

Tour With Spirit(s): Historic Pub Crawl Of Downtown Columbus 11/17/11 : Continuing the fine Dartmouth tradition of making learning fun, the Dartmouth Club of Central Ohio, with the generous sponsorship of the DAASV, organized a “historic pub crawl” of downtown Columbus, Ohio. The 3-hour tour, led by members of the Columbus Landmarks Foundation, visited three of the oldest bars in Columbus. The educational evening started at Ringside Café, then proceeded down High Street to the Elevator Brewery, and finished at the Flat Iron Grill.   A “mystery prize” was awarded at the conclusion of the evening.  Although the temperature dropped down into the 30s that night, over 20 Dartmouth alums still rallied — all in the name of Continuing Education — and partook in the event which lasted well into the night.

DAASV Experiences "The Odyssey" Aboard The Alma 11/05/11 : Dartmouth alumni and their families set sail for an afternoon on San Francisco Bay aboard the 1891 schooner "Alma", as we spun yarns from a limited engagement of Homer’s ancient epic, "The Odyssey".  The Alma and her Aquatic Park environs evoked a strong connection to "The Odyssey" and the poem’s central theme of travel, exploration, and homecoming. It was a story of a great and difficult journey, the search for self, the discovery of other worlds and people, and the ultimate journey home.
