MHF Volunteer Position Description
For more information and a position description for any of the following volunteer positions, please contact your class liaison or email aemarkar@mtholyoke.edu
Head Class Agent
Head Class Agents (HCA) are a vital part of class leadership, responsible for sharing the message about the importance of annual giving to MHC through The Mount Holyoke Fund. Working with a team of volunteer Class Agents, HCAs coordinate the class-based giving efforts that raise a cumulative total of over $8M per year for Mount Holyoke!
Cornerstone Chair
Cornerstone Chairs (CSC) work closely with the Head Class Agents (HCAs) throughout the five-year reunion cycle to develop a strategic plan for raising Cornerstone gifts of $1,837 or more from classmates. Leadership gifts make up approximately 75% of The Mount Holyoke Fund.
Class Agent
Stay connected to the Mount Holyoke community and make a meaningful — and immediate — impact on Mount Holyoke's mission.
Laurel Chain Society Chair
Laurel Chain Society Chairs work closely with Head Class Agents to encourage consistent giving to The Mount Holyoke Fund. They recognize and steward consistent donors — and identify and connect with potential Laurel Chain Society members.
Social Media Ambassador
Social Media Ambassadors use social media (such as class groups on Facebook) to share content related to the College, their class and The Mount Holyoke Fund. This outreach is particularly important during key fundraising times, such as challenges and the end of the fiscal year.
50th Reunion Leadership Gift Committee Member
Term length: two to four years
Each 50th Reunion cycle class recruits a 50th Reunion Leadership Gift Committee. It is tasked with peer-to-peer outreach and solicitation of classmates who have the potential to make a significant gift to The Mount Holyoke Fund.
Mary Lyon Society Class Chair
The Mary Lyon Society (MLS) Class Chair helps to promote the Mary Lyon Society by working with the gift planning staff to share information about the Mary Lyon Society with classmates, serve as a liaison between the class and the office of gift planning, write a thank you note to welcome new MLS members in the class and report the number of MLS members and the five year impact of the MLS on the class totals at Reunion.
