Co-Vice President : Alyssa Dion
vicepresident2001@smith.alumnae.net
Alyssa has spent the last six years living and working at ski areas
in sales, marketing and events; making it her career to bring
others to enjoy the beautiful New England winters on the slopes.
She has just decided to move to Saratoga Springs, NY with her
boyfriend and will be taking on a new challenge as the Director of
Sales for Saratoga Gaming and Raceway. Alyssa thinks that one
of the great parts about her career is the people. Now and then,
previously on the mountain, or in her travels, she will bump into
Smithies. Every time she meets another Smithie, she's always
impressed. Keep it up.

Co-Vice President: Jess Mele
vicepresident2001@smith.alumnae.net
After working for 4 years in Boston, Jess finished her Master's
Degree in Education and headed west. Now she's putting it all
together as an Arts Education Administrator in San Francisco.
She misses the East Coast Smithies a lot, but found a new gang
in the Bay Area. Despite all the life transition, the only thing that
hasn't changed for her in the last year is the connection she has
with Smithies new and old. It doesn't matter who they are or how
they met – every time she meets a Smithie, she's found a good
friend (or at least a fun, kind of nerdy person).
