The BSAA is a volunteer-based organization and needs your help. The interim Board has set up several committees to help us move forward on our mission. We need volunteers to join one or more of the committees to spread the load, much like Work Program.

Here is a brief description of each committee and the Chairs:

Membership - Jeffrey Von Arx (Java) ’87 and David Bluestein ‘08, Co-Chairs. Our work is to increase engagement and value for the BSAA member base. We intend to create a robust Alum Directory with networking and opportunities that connect and support each other. We are assisting the school’s alumni affairs office find lost Alum, verify data accuracy, and increase engagement with Buxton and the BSAA. We could use a few more volunteers to fill out our ranks. 

Technology – John Benjamin ’86 Chair. We guide the tech behind the scenes that the BSAA uses. We need help developing and managing a membership database, the BSAA website, email and newsletters distribution, an alumni directory, and anything else involving technology.

Finance – Byron Elliott, ‘81 Chair. We manage BSAA operating funds and expenses, filing reports, taxes, and all things financial for the BSAA including our bank accounts, paying bills, and tracking budgets. We also manage the filing requirements of the IRS and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Development – Everett Williams ’90 and John Benjamin ’86 Co-Chairs. We raise BSAA operating funds, support Buxton fundraising campaigns in collaboration with school leadership, and assist with virtual and in-person events. 

Communications – Robyn Linzner ’07 Chair. We’re the wordsmiths and our focus is on content for the BSAA messaging including the website, newsletter, social media, and emails. We need writers and editors and those with a way with words. 

Engagement – James Stockman ’60 Co-Chairs. We connect alums with each other and with Buxton for socializing, mentoring, networking, and community strengthening. 

Buxton needs an active and involved alum group to thrive and we need your help to make that happen. We look forward to having more of you at the table with us or sharing the Zoom screen!
