Hi, all! Another exciting announcement! On behalf of the Duke New York Women’s Forum Executive Committee, I’d like to share this impressive Forever Duke group that started their two-year term today, July 1st. We’re looking forward to watching them shine as they help to support and grow the fantastic DNYWF alumnae community. If you see them at a future event, strike up a conversation. They’d love to share more about the Committee and other ways to get involved!

Wishing a warm welcome to the seven new members of our DukeNY board! 💙💙💙 We know this Forever Duke group will generously share their expertise and fresh perspectives as they work together to strengthen our amazing tri-state Blue Devil community.
