The General Alumni Association's
Committee on Nominations and Elections will convene at the
College in November to draft a slate of nominees for the
vacant seats on the GAA board of directors. The deadline
for submitting nominations to Patrick L. McCarthy '63, GAA
executive secretary, is Thursday, Oct. 1. Those chosen will
assume office on July 1, 1999.
In accordance with the GAA bylaws, the committee members
will nominate a president, a president-elect, and three vice presidents. They
will also nominate 15-to-20
directors, 10 of whom will come from a specific class, beginning with one nominee
from each third preceding class as follows: 1999, 1996, 1993, 1990, 1987, 1984,
1981, 1978, 1975, 1972.
In addition, between five and 10 directors will be nominated on an at-large
basis - that is, with no specific reference to class. It should be noted that
there is no limit to the number of names that can be submitted for consideration.
Each recommendation should be accompanied by the following
information:
- a list of offices each nominee has held as a graduate
- a list of outstanding contributions made during his
or her term of office
- a list of committees or projects with which the graduate
has been involved, specifying significant accomplishments
made in connection with his or her own involvement
- any other outstanding service or contribution to the
College
- any other information regarding the candidate that could
be used in an announcement in the event that the candidate
is nominated
