That’s right, more than 60 attendees enjoyed food, drink, and a lot of fun at the Washington DC Area PeopleSoft Alumni Network event at McCormick and Schmick’s on September 20th. Collaborative Solutions, a PeopleSoft and Workday consulting partner, sponsored the event. The generosity of the PeopleSoft alumni came shining through with more than $1,300 donated to Cure Autism Now / Autism Speaks through online donations and raffles at the event, including a generous contribution from the PeopleSoft Alumni Network Career Center.
Thanks to our sponsors, members won gift certificates to McCormick and Schmick’s, custom jewelry from fellow PeopleSoft alum (and Collaborative Solutions employee) Jennifer Tomaselli, and an iPod shuffle. Most importantly, members caught up with each other and traded stories.
The organizing force for the event, PeopleSoft alum Bob Maller, now with Collaborative Solutions, said afterward, “The spirit of PeopleSoft lives on. People are absolutely amazed that we are holding reunion events regularly in cities around the globe. And there’s also a rumor Kevin Parker and Deltek will host the next Washington DC area PeopleSoft Alumni Network event!”
On behalf of the DC PeopleSoft Alumni Network, a huge thank you to Jennifer Tomaselli at Collaborative's Walnut Creek office for the idea (and jewelry to boot!), and to Bob Maller and others at Collaborative for orchestrating the event in DC.
Oh, and here are the pictures.
