“Nancy’s leadership in the early years built the foundation for us to become one of the most successful Northwestern Alumni Club’s in the world,” said Scott Krenz, club president. “Most importantly, Nancy is one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. I am personally thankful for her advice and mentorship.”
