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 20 alumni to be chosen annually for three-year terms,
at least 10 of them as at-large members, and 10 of them drawn one each from the
immediate graduating class and from each third class preceding the graduating
class.
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 no later than April 1.”
Any member of the GAA who would like to be so nominated should submit a petition
to Patrick L. McCarthy by April 1. If any petition should be received, a ballot
will appear in the next issue of Holy Cross Magazine so that alumni can vote
for the candidate(s) nominated by petition. 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.
