Frequently Asked Questions by Alumni

1.I received an email/postcard/phone call from a company asking for my personal information and said they were working with Hollidaysburg Area Alumni Association.  Is this a legitimate project or is it a scam?

It’s legit! We have partnered with PCI (also known as Publishing Concepts) to produce our new alumni directory. PCI is a family owned business based in Dallas, TX that has published directories for educational institutions, fraternities, sororities, and military organizations across the nation for almost 100 years.

This project allows Hollidaysburg Area Alumni Association to receive important updates to our database so we can better serve our alumni.

2. Does the Alumni Association or High School benefit from this at all?

Yes, in a few different ways:

Updated Information – allows us to effectively communicate with and engage alumni

Legacy – preserves the history of our school

Revenue – generates non-dues revenue for alumni programs for the Association

Pride – wearing apparel shows support and love for our school

3. How do I know my information will only be used for directory purposes?

PCI is committed to protecting your information. The names, addresses and information provided to PCI for the publication of the Directory will be held confidential by PCI, except to the extent that they are utilized in, or in the preparation of, the Directory and except as required by court order or law.
