2008 Retreat to Seattle

Fifty ARCS Foundation Atlanta members and guests gathered in Seattle, Washington, April 23–27, 2008, for the chapter's biannual retreat whose theme was capturing the feel of Seattle by water, air, land and art. 

  • Pictured above is David Boyd at the Museum of Flight.  After touring the cavernous fascinating facility and boarding Air Force One and the Concord, the group was intrigued with a presentation by Seattle ARCS Foundation member, CEO of the Museum of Flight, and former astronaut, Dr. Bonnie Dunbar.

Thanks from Scholar Laura Redmond

"I want to thank you again for supporting my career development, and I look forward to encouraging the development of future scientists as an ARCS Scholar Alum."

Thanks from Alum Collette Miller, Postdoctoral Fellow at US Environmental Protection Agency

"Thank you all for reaching out and the support over the years. It's been a rocky few years following the passing of my doctoral research mentor a few weeks prior to my dissertation defense. Trying to rebound from his loss, finishing my dissertation, and figuring out where to go from there was challenging to say the least ... Thank you again for your support. Honestly I did not know how much I would have ended up relying on the generous gift that the Atlanta Chapter of ARCS Foundation provided when it was first received. However, it was vital in helping me launch a new chapter in my career when I found my plans collapse when my mentor passed. Again, THANK YOU!"

Thanks from ARCS Atlanta Scholar Alum Deborah Kilpatrick, CEO Evidation Health

The work you (ARCS Foundation Atlanta members) have all done is tremendous, and I am so proud to be a part of that legacy.  I hope that my work is making you all feel that there has been a good return on your investment.
