Lauren Vollberg
2008 B.S. Meteorology: I am the President of the Nation’s Capital Chapter. I’m a Washington D.C. area native and I currently reside in Germantown, MD. I recently served as Vice President for two years. Previous to that, I was the Social Chair for four years. I look forward to working more with the rest of our Board and the alumni association in this new leadership role. Since we live in our Nation’s Capital, we have many exciting and interactive events to take advantage of in our own neighborhoods. Whether it’s getting together to visit the Smithsonian, or to “stand up and cheer” for the Bobcats at Penns Quarter, or going to see a live show at the Kennedy Center, the possibilities are endless. I look forward to meeting all of you and hearing your suggestions for chapter-hosted events.
