I enjoy serving as the advisor to the actives. It allows me to know the actives on a personal level and to encourage them to be aware of their impact on the campus and in the community. Being a Kianu was important to me in college because it gave me a place to belong and introduced me to my best friends. It's fun to watch similar friendships grow between the actives now.
Officers of the Corporation:

I am currently a mother of two.
After my son Merrick was born I decided to take time off from teaching. I began to miss working with children so I started a Parents' Morning Out program in our church. The first year we had 1 year olds. Now the children are 2 and so much fun. I have never worked with such young children but they are eager to learn and love the school routine. During my free moments in the past few years I have trained and run 2 half marathons, several 5K and 10K races, and traveled to see family and friends.
Treasurer:

I served as treasurer and president while I was at Muskingum and enjoyed being able to contribute to the club. Kianu has provided me with many wonderful friendships and it is great to continue to work with alumni from all different walks of life. I work in the financial services industry which makes the treasurer role a good fit for me.
Secretary:
Mary (Nader) Diamond '98
1st term: 2007-2010

I am proud to be the new Alumnae Secretary and was honored to be nominated for the position. After living in Pennsylvania for almost 8 years and recently moving back to Zanesville, OH I was excited to be so close to Muskingum College again. I thought it would be great to become an involved Alumnae for the club that has given me such awesome friends and fond memories.
Vice
President : Bethany Drake '04

Kianu has enriched my life in so many ways. I knew after I graduated that I wanted to give back. I just wasn't sure in what capacity. When the opportunity arose for me to be an officer during such an important and critical time, I knew I wanted to help. Kianu has given me some of my best friends and definitely some of my best memories. I feel honored to work with this talented and devoted group of women!
Fundraising
Chairwoman:
Kelli Coleman DelGuzzo '96
Continuing appointment

I am honored to once again be serving in an official capacity. I look forward to communicating directly with Kianus of all generations as I work to improve our financial standing as an organization. Thank you to the Board of Trustees for the opportunity to give back to the club that has made such an impact on my life.
Web
Designer:
Ruth Connell Seaman '98
Continuing appointment

Originally I became the Chi Alpha Nu webperson because there was a need for someone to fill the position and I enjoy web design, so it seemed a natural fit. The position has grown to mean much more than that to me. I regularly have contact with Kianus from age 18 to 80 because of the website. I love meeting Kianus from all generations: hearing their stories and seeing their pictures. I met several of my best friends through XAN, and I'm pleased to be able to give a little back to the club that has given me so much.
