I am a member, but besides me getting a few items I haven't really attended any events. I have gone to the School of Business events. Usually the after work drinks the week of Homecoming. The SOB has had a few other events that were pretty nice and fun.

Maybe we can post here about the upcoming UAB NAS events to remind those of us to attend. I sometimes will go but if I knew a few people going I would be more likely to attend.

I am also a member (actually, my wife and I have the joint membership, because we are both alumni). However, I frequently don't get the mailings, they arrive after the event, or something else that stinks of incompetence happens.

For example, yesterday my wife received a mailing asking her to join the alumni society. A complete waste of money on the NAS part, and further evidence the right hand there doesn't know what the left hand is doing.

My understanding is that there is a reluctance to share information throughout the school between departments. That leads to multiple databases, with multiple sources of information, and usually incorrect results.

I never get any of the mailings. A couple years ago when I first joined I got 2 free tickets to a football game that happened a month previous.

This happened to me as well, even though I've been a member since I graduated in 2002. It makes me wonder if they even care that I'm a member.

Have you called to ensure that they have your correct address for both snail mail and e-mail?

Did everyone get the end of the year e-mail from the NAS?

It has a link to a slide show of the campus changes throughout 2006.

If you did not get it and you are a NAS member please let me know.

I got it and really enjoyed it. Need to send in my renewal soon.

R-6,

I did not get it. I rarely seem to get anything the NAS sends out, until I call and/or e-mail and complain.

I re-upped my membership about a month ago, and got a an application to re-up in the mail yesterday.

I've been a member of NAS for a few years now, and I've NEVER received an email for ANYTHING. The only snailmail stuff I ever receive is my renewal info.

Send me a PM with your e-mail address and I will make sure that you are on the list.

I have been a member for the past two years, and all I have to show for it is a car decal and two green pens. Main benefit of joining was to get a discount on my basketball season tickets, but I don't plan on renewing that next year so I won't be renewing my alumni association membership either.
