Committee Members

Dartmouth at nightThe Dartmouth College Fund Committee (DCFC) serves as an advisory board to the Dartmouth College Fund development staff on strategic fund-raising matters and provides alumni leadership to support the College’s highest priorities in annual unrestricted giving.

Although the committee’s name has changed during the past century, its fundamental purpose hasn’t: the DCFC helps foster a culture of giving to the College as a powerful means to invest in the future of Dartmouth students. In addition to advising staff, committee members serve as ambassadors to the alumni community and are among the College’s most devoted volunteers and donors.

DCFC members have an intense and abiding commitment and loyalty to Dartmouth, evidenced by many years of active and effective volunteerism and consistent financial support. They bring to the committee diverse backgrounds, life experiences, and leadership records in business, government, education, professional fields, and non-profit work. Potential candidates for the DCFC are reviewed by Dartmouth College Fund staff and the committee, and are invited to join by the executive director of the fund and the chair of the DCFC; members typically serve one three-year term.

She was working on Wall Street, and her photo came with the caption “Pam Brewer is your sister,” and accompanied an article speculating what kind of alums the women would turn out to be. Would they support the Dartmouth College Fund??? The gauntlet was thrown down! Pam was an Alumni interviewer for many years, and made calls for her class from phone banks at the Yale Club after she moved to NY City.
