About the Phoenix Ivy Council
In the Spring of 2006 Doug Heller and a few other members of the Brown Alumni Club of Phoenix steering committee that we consider organizing an event with the other Ivy alum groups in the area. Why? Because getting more than 10 Brown alums to show up at any given event seemed difficult and I thought that perhaps other area Ivy clubs might be experiencing something similar. The others on the Brown Alumni club steering committee looked at me and said ‘Go for it.”
This group of people, through their similar educational experiences at some of the finest colleges in the country, seem to have a shared value to ‘pursue excellence’ – in a variety of ways. But the Ivy Council strives to foster not just camaraderie among its underlying alums – but through its actions, also jointly demonstrate support for Phoenix as it continues to evolve – especially through support of the arts, education and philanthropy. At this early stage, each person who gets involved can have an impact. Please join us or consider supporting the Ivy Council in some respect – and help uncover opportunities for others to learn about the Ivies and, along the way, join some other Ivy alums who want to find ways to make living in Phoenix a slightly richer experience.
