Happy Founders Day
From the Desk of the NAASC President
Greetings! April is likely to be a very busy
NAASC/Spelman month! I know that as women
of leadership, we will be “undaunted” by the
multiplicity of tasks we must accomplish!
I hope all NAASC members have submitted an,
“Every Woman, Every Year” gift to our beloved
alma mater! If you have not, please do so at
www.spelman.edu. You may also choose to
designate your gift to the Donald & Isabel
Steward Endowed Student Scholarship by
making a notation in the comments section.
Please plan to attend the SpelHouse Professional Development Symposium in Chicago on Saturday,
April 27, 2019, from 8 am to 3 pm, at Blue Cross Blue Shield Headquarters. Just like the two symposiums
before, there will be workshops, resume review, headshots, job interviews and more! Merrill Lynch/Bank
of America, Liberty Mutual, Starbucks, and Kimberly Clark are the major sponsors of this event. Spelman
and Morehouse alumni are welcome to attend this free event. Be sure to register on Eventbrite:

Get ready for the Spelman Reunion of classes ending in ‘5s and ‘9s! NAASC VP/Director of Alumnae
Engagement Sharon Owens and her staff are working hard to ensure that all have a great time. For

association by March 31, 2019. Due to the extreme cost, only NAASC members will be honored with
the traditional Golden Girls gift! Spelman alumnae can join at www.naasc.org.
Finally, I look forward to seeing you at the NAASC Annual Meeting and Luncheon on Saturday, May 18,
2019, at 11:30 am. We have much to accomplish during the meeting, including voting on proposed
Constitution/Bylaws amendments, committee reports, installation of officers, and more! The cost is $38,
and payment may be made via our website at www.naasc.org or by mail at NAASC, PO Box 42828,
Atlanta, GA 30311. Have a Wonderful Spring!

Huntsville Chapter (AL)
Members of the HAC-NAASC on the evening of their annual scholarship fundraiser.
This year, the Huntsville Area Chapter of the National Alumnae Association (HAC-NAASC) returned to
jazz for its annual fundraiser, and a familiar name to loyal supporters returned as well. Mr. Joe Jennings,
former director of the Spelman College Jazz Ensemble, and his musical partner, Howard Nicholson,
presented the Joe Jennings and Howard Nicholson Quintet for “An Evening of Jazz” on Saturday,
March 9th. The concert was held at the Huntsville Botanical Garden’s Grand Hall and was well-
attended by friends, family, and community supporters of Spelman. Toni Terrell, Program Director of
local WHRP 94.1 radio and longtime HAC-NAASC supporter, served as Mistress of Ceremonies.
As part of its commitment to give back to the college and serve as community ambassadors, the HAC-
NAASC contributes the entire concert proceeds to the Dr. Bessie Washington Jones Scholarship Fund,
which assists area students attending Spelman. In addition to ticket sales, several Huntsville
Metropolitan businesses, civic and social organizations, and churches provided financial sponsorship
for the fundraiser.
During intermission, two of the HAC’s members were recognized for their recent accomplishments.
Tawnya Plummer-Laughinghouse, C’95, was invited to celebrate International Women’s Day with
NBC’s Today Show in New York on Friday, March 8th, as one of the representatives of the Marshall Space
Flight Center. She is currently the Program Manager for the Technology Demonstration Missions
program. Also recognized was Renee Knight, C’87, as she will be singing at Carnegie Hall in New York
