Yale '09 fam — Matthew O. Brimer here checking in! As some of you may know, I accepted the opportunity to volunteer as Chair & Exec Producer of our our upcoming ten-year Reunion this May, supported by some amazing Yale '09 teammates. I did so with an intention to rewrite the playbook, to make this Reunion something truly unique and special and inclusive. I couldn't be more excited about what the team is creating... it's going to be a truly special weekend.

One of the aspects of Reunion that the team and I are most excited about are two sessions called 'Lightning Talks' and 'Conversations That Matter'.

*Lightning Talks* are opportunities to share something profound you’ve learned since graduation. These short, seven-minute presentations can be on any topic and in any format so long as there’s a clear, actionable takeaway for the audience. This isn’t a brag session – it’s a chance to give back some hard-won wisdom to the community that launched you on your journey.

// If you (or a fellow '09er) have something compelling to share in a Lightning Talk, sign up here: http://bit.ly/yale2009lt

*Conversations That Matter* are small, moderated conversations on topics that have challenged and driven us in our lives after Yale. These 75-minute discussions are a chance to ask questions, share experiences, and potentially make some new-old friends in a setting that allows for deeper connection than a typical happy hour.

// If you (or a fellow '09er) would like to facilitate a small-group for one of the Conversations That Matter, sign up here: http://bit.ly/yale2009ctm

Thanks all! Looking forward to this.

Cheers,
Matthew O. Brimer

How awesome is the Class of 2009? For the first time ever, we brought over half of the class back to Yale, and we broke every Five Year Reunion record in the books! Here's to making history.
..53.9% of classmates attended reunion..701 total classmates..782 total classmates and guests

And, a well-deserved Champagne Toast went to Branford College for an outstanding showing, with 63.7% of classmates present.

Thanks so much from all of us at Reunion HQ for making this past weekend so amazing. We're still coming down from it. What a whirlwind!

NB: Reunion may be over, but you should still follow the Class of 2009 on Twitter , because we plan to keep the account active for class news, alumni news, and feedback. Go forth, Yalies, and add us!
