Director of University Seeking Alumni Talent

BONNIE ROSS-PARKER graduated from George Washington University in June, 1966. 47 years later,

OMAR Bell, Associate Director of Development, got in touch with Bonnie as a GW alumni, to discuss potential involvement in two projects – The school’s Department of Entrepreneurship and Women in Leadership. I had the pleasure of meeting with Bonnie recently in Atlanta, says Omar. Working for George Washington University gives me the chance to meet with so many different alumni and connect to an incredible network of professionals! Listening to Bonnie talk about the great work that she does through Xperience Connections has inspired me to make sure George Washington University continues to help our female alumni succeed in whatever venture they attempt. I would encourage everyone reading this to get in touch with your alma mater, give back to them as they will continue to give to you through connections like what Bonnie offers!

Pictured together after a wonderful lunch at Houston’s Buckhead, Bonnie and Omar are intending to join forces in an innovative and productive capacity. He’s seeking alumni talent and has sought her out! Not bad after all this time! Life is a journey. Each of our lives is a reflection of the  experiences we have, the people we meet, the thoughts  we consider and the feelings we embrace, says Bonnie. It would be and honor to work along side Omar. Life is meant to be shared. No one chooses to travel life alone.  It’s those opportunities we say “Yes” to, the people we meet or invite along  the way, and the “ah ha” moments that awaken us to a new way of looking at something familiar. Our journeys  continue day to day, as one experience follows another. The journey embraces people who impact us, circumstances and changes we can’t control, the  choices and decisions we make and the effect of those actions over  time.
