Deborah Dietzler, director of the UGA Alumni Association
Athens, Ga. – Deborah Dietzler, who has served as interim executive director of the University of Georgia Alumni Association since February, has been named permanently to the position.

Steve W. Wrigley, senior vice president for external affairs, announced today that Dietzler was chosen following a national search to find a successor to David Muia, who retired Jan. 31 after 16 years as alumni director.

Dietzler joined the association in 1997 as associate executive director and chief operating officer. In addition to overseeing the association’s day-to-day operations, she has been instrumental in helping start the Atlanta Alumni Center, creating an award-winning Web site, involving more students in alumni activities and widening the diversity of the alumni base.

She has helped build dues-based membership in the association to more than 20,000, and has started or strengthened other revenue-generating programs that have helped increase the association’s budget to nearly $2 million.

“Deborah is an innovative leader whose energy and enthusiasm have helped create great excitement and support for the Alumni Association and for UGA,” Wrigley said. “Under her guidance the association will develop even stronger programs and opportunities to engage our alumni. We are fortunate to have someone of her ability, experience and commitment to lead the association and represent the University of Georgia.”

Founded in 1834 as the University of Georgia Alumni Society, the association had an open-ended membership structure until 1997 when it changed its name and became a dues-based organization. Members live in every county in Georgia, every state in the nation and in many other countries. The university has some 230,000 alumni worldwide.

Dietzler said she will work to nurture the university’s relationship with alumni, who she said “are the best evidence of the value of a UGA education,” and to cultivate more support for the university in tight budget times.

“As the stewards of UGA’s spirit and traditions, we will strive to become an even more integral part of the university as we carry out our mission of celebrating the excellence found in every corner of our campus,” she said.

Prior to joining the association, Dietzler was director of alumni services for Columbia University Teachers College and director of alumni affairs at State University of New York at Stony Brook.

She serves on UGA’s Enrollment Advisory Committee and the National Scholarship Outreach Conference Committee, and is a mentor in a residence hall for freshmen.

She is currently president of the Junior League of Athens and serves on the board of directors of the Athens Area Chamber of Commerce. She has been chair of the chamber’s Women in Business group and is a nominee for the chamber’s 2005 Athena Award.

She has been recording secretary for Athens Area Habitat for Humanity, and was a board member of the Clarke County Chapter of the American Heart Association and volunteered with Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic.

Dietzler received a bachelor’s degree in English from Hofstra University and a master’s in marketing from Texas A&M University.
