Ellen Schlachter
Director of Annual Giving and Alumni Relations
As a Meadows alumna (MA/MBA ’09), I thoroughly enjoy meeting and working with such a talented and diverse alumni community as well as being part of a school which has given so much to me. It is a privilege to work with the alumni committee of the Meadows Executive Board, and in 2011, it was exciting to help them launch the Meadows Alumni Advisory Council, a group of alumni leaders who are committed to supporting the school and engaging other Meadows alumni.
In my role, I serve as the school’s annual giving officer as well as the project manager for Meadows at the Meyerson, the school’s annual gala which raises funds for the exceptional Meadows Scholars program. A native Dallasite, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to return to SMU to pursue my passion for nonprofit management and the arts. If you would like to become involved in Meadows alumni activity, please contact me. I look forward to hearing from you!
