Alumnae Leadership & Volunteers

The Alumnae Board enables graduates to remain engaged and support Nightingale.

The Nightingale-Bamford School Alumnae Association was formed in 1926 and values the participation of all Nightingale women, whether they attended Nightingale for one year or 13.

Its efforts are coordinated by the Office of Institutional Advancement, the Alumnae Board, and the Young Alumnae Committee, and are supported by the hundreds of alumnae who are involved each year.

Alumnae Volunteers

Meet our Class Correspondents

Class Correspondents are a vital group of alumnae volunteers who keep members of their class connected to each other, to the school, and to the broader Nightingale community. Class Correspondents collect contact information, Class Notes for The Blue Doors magazine and share vital news for the class and the school.

If you are interested in being a Class Correspondent for your class, learn more here and please reach out to alumnae@achador.net.

Meet our Nightingale Fund Class Agents

The Nightingale Fund is our annual fundraising initiative. Funds raised flow directly into the school’s operating budget, immediately impacting what is possible for our students, faculty, and programs. Across generations, the continued generosity of alumnae champions supports all that we do within and beyond the blue doors.

Nightingale Fund Class Agents play a vital role in helping us reach dollar and alumnae participation goals each year. Together with the advancement office, Class Agents will encourage peers to participate in the Nightingale Fund, strengthening the success of our efforts through personal outreach and meaningful connection.

If you are interested in being a Nightingale Fund Class Agent for your class, learn more here and please reach out to Annual Giving Manager Megan Sanderville.
