Whether you are a recent Alum, or a "blast from the past" Alum, we welcome you to participate as Ambassadors to current and future team members! You are walking/talking examples of how being a part of DI continues to effect they way you solve challenges in real life. Who is considered an alumnus of DI? Anyone who did DI at any point in their lives. You don't have to have done DI all the way through high school. Maybe you did DI in middle school and just couldn't fit it in through high school. That's okay. We still want you! You know the great benefits that DI can bring to kids (and to team managers, too).

Did you know that employers are seeking young employees who are creative, can solve problems, and can work well on a team? That sounds like you! Did you think when you were 10 years old that DI might actually help you get a job when you graduate from college? In fact, DI, Inc. has received calls from employers hoping to find DI alums to hire. So, Di is building a database of alums to help grow and support the DI program. And to communicate job opportunities as they arise.

Having participated in CPS in Maryland or elsewhere, you have experience and insight on the best ways to grow the program. Our alumni representative on the MCPSI board is Nicholas Cowling, a recent DI transplant from Texas. Nicholas is anxious to get to know the Maryland alums and find ways that you can participate in local DI activities.

Please take a moment to touch base with Nicholas at alumni@marylanddi.org and provide him with the following info:

• Name
• E-mail Address
• Mailing Address
• State & County where you did DI
• What are you doing now?
• What would you like to do for DI? – appraise, help a team with ICs, be a runner at a tournament, help with info sessions in your area, help with trainings, something else?
