Laurie McCord Grauer '68 Named 2007 Alumna of the Year August 20, 2007
Laurie McCord Grauer was honored as the 2007 Alumna of the Year at the second annual Alumnae Tea at Brook House on May 3rd. A member of Purnell's first graduating class, Laurie has served on the Board of Trustees since 1991 and presently holds the position of Vice Chair. In addition to her Board leadership, she has been a steadfast and generous supporter of professional development at Purnell. In 1993, she donated funds to found the McCord Grauer Center for Professional Development at Purnell. Since that time the Center has supported a broad array of training and education opportunities for teachers including ongoing faculty training in All Kinds of Minds® and the Covey Group's Seven Habits workshops this year. Through her generosity and commitment, Laurie has not only lived out the School's guidelines, but also has given others the tool to do so.
