The General Alumni Association has announced the names of those alumni nominated to serve as officers and members of its board of directors. Patrick L. McCarthy '63 has been re-appointed executive secretary. Michael H. Shanahan '78 has been re-appointed treasurer. GAA bylaws do not require yearly nomination to this office.
The nominations for the board were selected in accordance with the GAA bylaws, which allow for no more than 10 alumni to be chosen annually for three-year terms—two directors from among current and former regional club presidents and two other elected members from each of the four class groups.
Although this slate of candidates represents the choices of the GAA Nominating Committee, it should be noted that any member of the GAA may be nominated in accordance with Article VII of the bylaws, as follows: "Any member of the Alumni Association may be nominated for director by a petition containing the signatures of 20 alumni with the executive secretary."
Any member of the GAA who would like to be so nominated should submit a petition to Patrick L. McCarthy, executive secretary. If any petition should be received, the executive secretary shall conduct an election for the class year group or for current or past presidents of a regional club by sending ballots to the members of the association. The names of newly elected officers and directors will be announced at the GAA's annual banquet during reunion weekend. All alumni are invited to attend.
