I am honored to serve as the incoming President for the 2020-2022 term. Our volunteer Board is tasked with leading the Club in its mission to connect the nearly 400 Mount Holyoke alumnae in the Houston area with one another and the College. 

A diverse range of programs and activities will be central to this effort, and at this moment social media will be our primary organizing tool. We will be staying in touch and sharing information via the Mount Holyoke Club of Houston Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram pages. Please join! If you need any help finding and connecting on these platforms, let me know. In addition to social media, our newsletters will be delivered in your inbox or mailbox quarterly. 

To help us get to know each other a little better we will be doing a couple of new things. First, keep an eye out for spotlight features of the incredible women who serve with our Club. Also, while we continue to live in a stay home social environment this summer, we will utilize virtual events, through Zoom, at least until the end of summer.

While no substitute for in-person meetings, we will be publishing a Houston Club Directory on our website, as a way for us to better stay connected. We’ve sent an email asking if you’d like to participate. Email us at mhc.houston@gmail.com if you did not receive that message. 

For those interested in volunteer or board service, we have many opportunities to serve, and love to welcome new volunteers and leaders. Please contact me if you have an interest in getting involved. I hope to hear from you.  

We look forward to connecting in the months ahead. 

All the best, 

Taryn H. Gore, PhD ’09 
President, Mount Holyoke Club of Houston
