Alumni Association Update
A Farewell to Vige Barrie
Dear Wharton alumni,
It is with heartfelt thanks for her years
of dedicated service that I announce
that Vige Barrie, CW'74, WG'76, will
resign her post as chair of the Wharton
Alumni Association board.
Vige became president of the
Wharton Club of Dallas-Fort Worth
in 1995, and attended her first
Wharton Alumni Association meeting
in Philadelphia in 1996. She served
as president of the Wharton Alumni
Association board from 2003 to 2005,
and has been chair from 2005 to 2006.
Through her active involvement, she
worked to enhance the committee
structure within the board, and promoted
an effort to increase the number
of nominations to the board within a
global context. She forged connections
with hundreds of Wharton alumni and
helped to build our strong alumni network
through her leadership.
We have been honored with Vige's
level of commitment to the Wharton
community as a board member, committee chair, and president and chair
of the Alumni Association board. After
nearly a decade of participation, she
will pass the torch to board president,
Tama Smith, WG'80, along with all of
the outstanding committee chairs.
Throughout her tenure, Vige kept
the Wharton Alumni Association board
focused on its mission to build and fortify
a world-class alumni network, and
she did so with efficiency and diplomacy.
Her involvement has helped us to
reach out to alumni in new and more
meaningful ways.
Please join me in wishing Vige the
best and in thanking her personally for
her ongoing commitment to Wharton.
Vige, we are grateful for your resounding
support over the years.
You have strengthened the Alumni
Association board and in so doing, have
strengthened the School overall. On behalf
of the Wharton community, thank
you for your tremendous work.
Sincerely,
Steven Oliveira
