 President’s Corner - Phil Deeney


On May 20, 2025, our annual meeting brought together alumni for an engaging and inspiring event. Those in attendance heard from Brian Sikes, CEO of Cargill, who shared a business update. Warren and Mary Lynn Staley reflected on their impactful nonprofit work, particularly with “Habitat for Humanity.” The meeting also featured well-deserved recognition, fun-filled Cargill trivia, and an opportunity to reconnect.

We also announced a new initiative to further connect our alumni: a dedicated presence on LinkedIn! This platform will complement our regular email updates, offering a dynamic way to share career milestones, engage in discussions, and stay informed about events. Be sure to join us on LinkedIn to strengthen your connection to the CCA-Twin Cities alumni network. 

Looking ahead, our summer calendar is packed with exciting events, from casual meet-ups to community service projects, providing opportunities to reconnect with friends and make new connections. Check out the calendar and join us, you never know who you might run into! 


We know there are plenty of needs in our community. We believe we can make a difference. This means we need you. Our theme for the coming year is “Now more Than Ever”.  

Thank you to everyone who made the annual meeting a success. We look forward to seeing you at upcoming events and continuing to build a vibrant alumni community.

  • Work from home! 
  • Short, flexible hours (normally 2-3 hours, ideally once or twice a month). 
  • Extremely low ... Ok, really no pay.  
  • No Benefits (except for the undying gratitude of the CCA members, the CCA board, and your own personal fulfillment). 
  • Brain stimulation. Candidates must be comfortable with computers and learning new software.  A willingness to play detective is helpful. Being a people person is optional. 
  • Some training provided, but the successful candidate should enjoy working independently. 
  • Did we mention working from home?
