Kate Strayer-Benton ’05, ’11Tu
Association of Alumni Nominated Candidate for Executive Committee

Biography
Kate returned to healthcare consulting in Boston after receiving her MBA from Tuck in June. As an undergraduate, Kate studied psychology/neuroscience and was a UGA, Tri-Delta VP of Membership, Green Key and Abaris member, and DCF intern. Kate continued her active involvement in the Dartmouth community as a Tuck Healthcare Initiative and Leadership Fellow, Revers Board Fellow at David's House, cochair of the Tuck-Dartmouth and Tuck Volunteers clubs, and women's hockey goalie. Kate was elected to the AoA Executive Committee in 2011, serves as cochair of the DCF's Young Alumni Advisory Board, and has served as class head agent.

Statement
Dartmouth made an enduring impact on my life; I am committed to giving back and honored to serve the College. I continue to believe in the importance of open communication and collaboration and will work with this slate to foster unity and maintain connectivity between the College, alumni leadership, and alumni of all generations.

As a DCF Intern in 2005, I worked with my peers to reinvigorate participation in the senior class gift, successfully reversing downward participation trends. Escalation of participation among recently graduated alumni suggests the potential for broader involvement in trustee elections as well. I believe this slate will continue to strengthen ties between Dartmouth and alumni and maintain trustee election transparency. The Dartmouth experience creates a lasting legacy, one which is maintained through support of Dartmouth's mission and goals and must be protected along with alumni interests through the governance of the board and integrity of elections.
