PINNACLE LUNCH & LEARN: PERSON CENTERED LANGUAGE
The DEI Committee is excited to offer a much requested program on person-centered language. Fellow Centurion, Kandace Buckner, and her colleague, Melissa Noland, will lead this conversation for our cohort. This program will enhance Centurions awareness of how language both describes and designs our reality.
Person-centered language is language that puts people first. Using person-centered language is about respecting the dignity, worth, unique qualities and strengths of every individual. Registration is required to attend & lunch will be provided! Register here >>

ALUMNI DIRECTORY AND DUES
We will begin updating information for the 2024-2025 Centurions Alumni Directory in the coming weeks.
We want to do our best to help you stay connected to fellow alumni. If you would like to continue your Centurions Alumni Association membership, feel free to follow this link to pay online, or pay by scrolling down to the "Centurions Invoice Payment" section to pay the $75 alumni dues. On the form, include the code “AD-2024” when it requests an invoice number, and include your first and last name in the notes section so we can pair each payment to the appropriate alumnus. If you registered for the Alumni Breakfast you already paid your dues for the upcoming year as part of the fees.
Alumni Dues: Please remember that 100% of alumni dues go toward alumni programming, existing scholarships for active Centurions, and beginning last fall, a new DEI Legacy scholarship opportunity. The Centurions Alumni Association is committed to enhancing diversity, equity, and inclusion in the Centurions program. As a first step in this effort the Centurions Alumni Board has created the DEI Legacy Scholarship. This Scholarship covers the full cost of tuition and trip fees for one professional from a traditionally underrepresented group who is working to create equity within Kansas City. We hope to fund one scholarship per class on an ongoing basis.
Joining the Alumni Association guarantees you a copy of the Alumni Directory once it’s published in the fall. Please stay tuned for more information on upcoming events.
