From the Presidents Desk

This Week's Program
Kim Lord, Brookwood School College Counselor

Lord comes to Brookwood with a wealth of experience in university admissions, as well as college counseling in independent school settings. She has served as assistant director of admission, admissionscounselor and financial aid counselor in college admissions and financial aid at Rice University, University of North Texas and Harvard University.

Lord has worked in a variety of independent school settings, having directed the college counseling programs at Antwerp International School in Belgium and Saint Stephen’s Episcopal School in Bradenton, Florida. She also served as a college counselor at St. John’s School in Houston, Texas.
Headmaster Randy Watts said her knowledge and experience with colleges and universities is exceptional.
“She has visited over 130 university campuses in 21 states and five countries. While she has a strong knowledge base with colleges and universities in the Southeast, she is also well versed with schools throughout the United States and internationally,” he said.
Lord holds a bachelor’s degree from Vassar College and a master’s degree from Harvard University.
She said she was immediately struck by the sense of belonging on campus when she visited Brookwood.“Everyone smiled. There was real conversation happening casually in the school’s common areas; multiple times throughout the day when I heard faculty or students asked to pitch in for one reason or another, the immediate answer was, ‘yes,’” she said.

Next Week's Program
Josh Small of Spectator Management Group

Josh Small has managed Spectra facilities in Augusta and Aiken for nearly 12 years. He said he's looking to bring major attractions to Albany, like WWE Live, which will come to town in August. Small said since he started on May 1, he's been in planning mode. He said he plans to have at least one major event at one of the facilities each quarter. Small said you can expect big-name concerts from all genres, family acts and national acts in the city. "We're just trying to kind of build on that and bring a couple more events that haven't been here in the past so we can slowly start to take the building to the next step. It's not going to happen overnight but we're putting all of that in place to get to that next step," explained Josh Small. Aside from WWE Live, Small said they are in negotiations for possibly three other events this year. Small also said they are looking to hire new positions for their marketing department and sales department to assist with those plans.

The reception for DG Court will be on Wednesday evening, October 10th from 5 pm to 7 pm at the home of Michele Arwood located at 331 Remington Avenue.
