About

Scudder Association Mission

The Scudder Association, incorporated in 1938 in New York State, is a non-profit corporation. We promote our bond of kinship, furnish support and assistance to Scudder Memorial Hospital in Ranipet, India, and the Vellore Christian Medical College and Hospital in Vellore, India, and support other charitable religious and educational activities, and research and publish our family history and genealogy.

Scudder Association Structure

The Scudder Association has a general membership in two categories, an elected board of 15 governors with 1/3 elected each year for 3 year terms, and a number of officers and committees. The officers are the President, two Vice-Presidents, a Secretary, Treasurer, Historian, Chaplain, Legal Counsel, and Genealogist. The officers are elected for terms of 3 years. The standing committees are the Finance committee, the Education Grants Committee, the Grants to India Committee, and the History/Genealogy Committee.

Our association includes persons who can trace their lineage (help is available) to three Scudders who came over from England in the 1600s. We not only welcome new members, we are seeking to greatly expand our membership. We do request that you create an account on this website to post questions and to seek help with your Scudder connections.

Annual Meeting

We have an annual meeting each year when officers and governors are elected. In our Centennial Year of 2012 we are meeting in Salem, Massachusetts, where the Scudders first landed in America. It\'s a great story and we hope you will join us in Salem to hear it.

Who Are We?

We are people of all walks of life with different views and perspectives. We share common ancestors who were extraordinary people and enjoy celebrating their accomplishments as they inspire us to pursue our own good works.
