CAA Reception at 270 Park Avenue

At the New JPMC Headquarters, April 27, 2026

 
It finally felt like pre-pandemic days – a huge gathering of Chase alumni reuniting with friends and colleagues at 270 Park Avenue!
 
More than 300 alumni attended the April 27th CAA reception so generously and graciously hosted by JPMorganChase at its new global headquarters.  
 
 
While the reception did not actually begin until 5:30 pm (that is, the bar wasn't open yet), and check-in was set to begin at 5, alumni were chomping at the bit to go upstairs and explore the new space. The steady stream began at 4:45. All but a few guests had arrived by 6, and many lingered after the party was officially over at 8. 
 
The biggest draw? Well, people might have come to see the new headquarters, but they stayed for their fellow alumni, sharing memories, catching up on intervening years, and gabbing about work, retirement, family, the world, their health, travels and the way things used to be.
 
We so appreciate the effort JPMC made to make this a memorable evening –including arranging for Carla Hassan, Chief Marketing Officer for all of JPMC, to address the crowd. Special props go to Aisha McKutchin and Binnur Dogan of JPMC's Alumni Network team, for leading mini-tours of the 13th and 14th floors throughout much of the evening, and to Kate Northrup, head of JPMC's Alumni Network team, for her help and guidance and making the magic happen for our alumni.
 
 
And thanks to our alumni volunteers who helped out at the check-in desk: Lori Goodian, Gary Heinze, Dawn Lee Lum and CAA Board Member Mary Molloy, along with our "First Lady" – Ann Jablon, wife of CAA Board President Ken Jablon.

Our very able photographer tried to capture everybody who attended, but it is difficult with such a large crowd. We apologize to those alumni who weren't photographed, as well as those whose names are missing or incorrect in the captions. Please send additions or corrections to news@chasealum.org. Be sure to indicate the photo number (at the start of the caption) and whether the image is in Part 1 or Part 2. The photos are by Mara Zalite Photography (@marazalite_photography on Instagram).
 
If you have photos you want to share from the event, please send them to news@chasealum.org.
 
The Luncheons
 
On Monday, April 27th, 39 alumni of the Global CreditTraining Classes of the 1970s also met for a luncheon at the Sea Fire Grill on East 48th Street. Sadly missing from the event, due to illness, was Joe Murphy, who organized the whole shebang. We wish him a full and speedy recovery, and join his classmates in thanking him for the time and effort he put into the luncheon even though he wasn't feeling his best.
 
Alas, the LATAM (Latin America) Reunion Luncheon on Tuesday, April 28th was also missing its organizer and host due to emergency eye surgery a few days earlier. Manuel Peña-Morros had corralled 42 attendees for the reunion at Il Postino, a restaurant on East 61st Street that, according to its chef-owner, is a favorite of Jamie Dimon. Again, we appreciate his planning and persistence in making this event happen.
 
Both luncheons exemplified the bonds formed at Chase Manhattan Bank, whether in the credit boot camp that was a signature program of the bank or among colleagues working in a foreign country. 
 
We will post photos from these events next week.
