GASSON CHAIRED
The Gasson Society, the premier annual giving society at Boston College, has named John Powers '73 as its new chair, succeeding Tom Ryan '63. Powers will lead a national executive committee of prominent volunteers who strive to increase membership of annual donors at the $10,000-and-above level. Since its inception in 2000, the committee has more than doubled in size and has fueled the growth of Gasson Society membership among alumni, parents, and friends of Boston College.



CIRCLE UNBROKEN
The President's Circle has named Randy Seidl '85 as the new chair, succeeding Susan McManama Gianinno '70. Seidl will lead a committee of more than 125 individuals committed to raising annual gifts of $5,000 to $9,999. In addition
to the legions of New England area volunteers, the committee includes dedicated groups in New York, Washington, D.C., the Midwest, Southwest, and Northwest. President's Circle gifts provide funding for programs such as tuition grants, junior faculty research, and religious and development retreats for students.



SEMPER FIDES
The Fides Society has named Ann Finck '66 as the new chair, succeeding Ed Murphy '84. Finck recently completed her tenure as chair of the New York Fides Committee. Members of the Fides Society contribute annual gifts of $1,000 to $4,999 and account for more than 25 percent of all giving to the Boston College Fund each year. A special Young Fides membership is available to graduates who have not yet celebrated their 10th reunion and commit to a gift of $1,000 over two years.
