In addition to their role in satisfying nostalgia for the Dartmouth experience, the Aires are also one of the most critically acclaimed college performance groups of the last ten years. Their vast repertoire — featuring mix of contemporary favorites, Dartmouth traditionals, sketch comedy, and the occasional piece of opera — is designed to please audiences of all ages.

Networking Techniques To Make Your Career
Location: TBD (Silicon Valley)
Cost: Free to DCGSF/DAASV members, $30 for non-members
Have you ever marveled at that friend who seems to know everyone? Or the one who can walk into a room full of strangers, have a blast, and walk out with a fist full of business cards? Why are these people able to find jobs or close deals in a snap, while you struggle just to get a meeting? The difference usually lies in the way they build and use their networks. Like it or not, most of our personal and professional successes will come through people we know. LinkedIn “connections” and Facebook “friends” only get us so far. The real power of a network comes from being able to build and leverage our relationships with friends, colleagues and even perfect strangers; yet these skills don't come naturally to most of us.
If you are the kind of person who feels awkward in a room full of people you don't know, or you believe you aren't taking full advantage of the network you already have, join us for a lively presentation, “Comfortable Networking Techniques That Will Make Your Career.” You'll learn to use natural techniques that fit your personality and enable you to meet new people, develop meaningful relationships, and use your network to achieve your goals. We also invite “well-connected” members to come share their own tips and success stories.
With more than 25 years of experience building relationship-based businesses, Theresa Lina Stevens is an expert on how to establish and leverage personal networks, both online and off. In addition to having founded networking events in San Francisco and Silicon Valley, she is the founder and president of Lina Group, Inc., a strategic marketing consulting firm that primarily serves professional services and technology companies. She also works with the Stanford Technology Ventures Program (STVP) in the School of Engineering at Stanford University. She has served as chief marketing officer for two Internet-related startups and spent eight years at Accenture. After several years there as a management consultant, Theresa helped found the firm's Communications Industry Group. She served as Director of Worldwide Marketing and helped lay the foundation for what has become a multi-billion dollar business.

Breakfast Speaker: Economist in the White House
“An Economist in the White House: A World of Contradictions” with Professor Korok Ray
Location: Il Fornaio, 520 Cowper Street, Palo Alto, CA
Cost: $20 for DAASV/DCGSF members, $35 for non-members
Korok Ray will revisit some basic principals of economics (supply and demand, allocating scarce resources, making hard choices, etc.) and discuss how even these basic principals face severe resistance inside the political world of the White House. He will discuss how an economist sees the world and how this is different than the political constraints that ultimately guide government decision-making. This will be done in the context of the buildup of the 2008 financial crisis, which he witnessed first-hand during his tenure at the White House.
Korok Ray is currently an Assistant Professor at the Georgetown University McDonough School of Business. He earned his PHD in Economics from Stanford University in 2004, and then joined the University of Chicago faculty from 2004-2007. He then served as Senior Economist on the White House Council of Economic Advisors from July 2007 to August 2008, where he was the Financial Economist for the White House. After that he joined the Georgetown faculty. He teaches in Finance and Accounting, and does research on compensation, corporate governance, and financial regulation.

Breakfast Speaker Series: Tax Policies To Die For
Location: Perry's, 1944 Union Street, San Francisco
Cost: $20 Members, $35 Non-Members
Tax Policies To Die For by George Hammond '75
The tax code's hopeless, and we're helpless. But why? It's almost April 15th again and complex code provisions continue to multiply. The estate tax has even disappeared this year, but is expected to reincarnate next year in its 2002 form. The competing interests in a democracy are partially responsible for this situation, but the underlying and unrecognized reason is that democracies haven't yet caught on that they continue to approach tax policy as if they were monarchies. George will discuss several tax proposals that jettison the past's preference for complexity and simultaneously incorporate into redistribution policy a way of knowing how much redistribution is affordable without bankrupting current institutions and future generations.
George Hammond ‘75 is a corporate attorney who has negotiated over 200 multi-million dollar mergers and acquisitions, including the Yukos-Sibneft Russian oil merger, Artemis's precedent-setting acquisition of Aoba Life in Japan, the Mall of America in Minneapolis, Shell's acquisition of Siemens' solar energy business, Chicago and New York skyscrapers, a hydroelectric plant near La Paz, Bolivia and early work on the Shenhua coal-to-gas project in Mongolia. George was on the board of directors of the Pacific Stock Exchange during both its demutualization and its merger with the New York Stock Exchange. He is a graduate of Dartmouth College and the University of Wisconsin Law School. George is also a popular lecturer at the Commonwealth Club and for Humanities West, where he has performed as Mark Twain, Plato, Pythagoras and Copernicus. He is the author of four novels, a collection of short stories and six philosophical books on issues in rational idealism, theoretical physics, Plato's theory, early Christianity, the Soviet Union, psychology and constitutional law. His essay, Taxation Policies for Future Democracies, includes many of the ideas presented in this talk.
RSVP REQUIRED: To aid in the planning of this event, please RSVP by April 1st to James von Rittmann '95 at treasurer@dartmouthsf.org. Please include the first and last name, and Dartmouth class (if applicable), of each attendee. RSVPs received after April 1st are welcome, but must pay the non-member rate.

Lunch & Lecture: Ty Cobb on Reagan & the Russians
Lunch & Lecture: Ty Cobb on "Reagan and the Russians"
Location: University Club, 800 Powell Street, San Francisco
Cost: $42 for DCGSF/DAASV Members, $60 for non-members
(lunch included)
Join the DCGSF and DAASV for a lunch and presentation featuring Ty Cobb on "Reagan and the Russians".
Colonel Tyrus W. Cobb served on the National Security Council throughout the Reagan Presidency. Reporting directly to President Reagan as a Special Assistant, as well as to Colin Powell, Col. Cobb helped organize both the Geneva and Reykjavík summit meetings. At the NSC, his responsibilities included devising coordinated NATO/West policies for dealing with the USSR to promote positive change, and maintaining consensus among the allies in carrying out that strategy. A Vietnam veteran, Col. Cobb has served on the faculty of West Point and Georgetown, where he received his PhD.
Dr. Cobb’s NSC service as a Soviet specialist spanned the tumultuous tenures of Brezhnev, Andropov, Chernenko and Gorbachev. A participant in many private meetings with President Reagan and various world leaders, he will share with us his intimate perspective on Reagan and his relationships with Gorbachev, Thatcher, Mulroney, Kohl and Pope John Paul II. Dr. Cobb will provide firsthand insights into the role of other participants in those epic times as well, including George H.W. Bush, Tip O’Neill, Colin Powell, Oliver North, and Bob Gates.
A direct contributor to one of the most successful foreign policy strategies in history, and a confidant of one of the twentieth century’s leading figures, Dr. Cobb will share with us his behind the scenes insights into the personalities and the drama that led to the collapse of the Evil Empire.
RSVP REQUIRED: To aid in the planning of this event, please RSVP by April 5th to James von Rittmann '95 at president@daasv.org. Please include the first and last name, and Dartmouth class (if applicable), of each attendee. RSVPs received after April 5th are welcome, but must pay the non-member rate.

Ocean View Summit Hike at Big Basin
Location: 21600 Big Basin Way, Boulder Creek, CA
Cost: FREE for all Dartmouth alumni and guests. Parking $10 per vehicle.
Big Basin Redwoods State Park is California's oldest State Park, established in 1902. Home to the largest continuous stand of ancient coast redwoods south of San Francisco, the park consists of over 18,000 acres of old growth and recovering redwood forest, with mixed conifer, oaks, chaparral, and riparian habitats. Elevations in the park vary from sea level to over 2,000 feet. The climate ranges from foggy and damp near the ocean to sunny, warm ridge tops.
Join docent David Auerbach on one of our most diverse hikes—by mountain streams, oak woodlands, chaparral and redwoods. You’ll discuss forests, flowers and fires on a six-mile, four-hour hike. This somewhat strenuous ascent is rewarded with ocean views on a clear day. Bring water, lunch and good hiking shoes. Meet at Park Headquarters.
RSVP REQUIRED: To aid in the planning of this event, please RSVP by April 20th to James von Rittmann '95 at treasurer@dartmouthsf.org. Please include the first and last name, and Dartmouth class (if applicable), of each attendee.

Dartmouth Lawyers Panel Discussion — Prop 8
“Does Equal Protection Trump the Will of the People?” and Other Questions Raised by the Prop 8 Case.
Location: University Club, 800 Powell Street, San Francisco
Cost: Free for DAASV/DCGSF/DLA/DGALA Members, $30 for non-members
When David Boies and Ted Olson filed suit in federal court in San Francisco, challenging the passage of Proposition 8 on equal protection and due process grounds, they sought to overturn a law that was made in a uniquely California way. The issue is so important to so many people that thousands would undoubtedly have watched had the trial been on television or online, but defendants convinced the Supreme Court to keep cameras out of the courtroom. Come join the DAASV, DCGSF, DGALA, and DLA for two panels of judges and lawyers who will discuss a variety of issues raised by the case, from California's direct democracy, to cameras in the courtroom, to the equal protection argument itself.
RSVP REQUIRED: To aid in the planning of this event, please RSVP by April 14th to James von Rittmann '95 at president@daasv.org. Please include the first and last name, and Dartmouth class (if applicable), of each attendee. RSVPs received after April 14th are welcome, but must pay the non-member rate.
