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 reappointed
as executive secretary. Michael H. Shanahan '78 has been reappointed
as treasurer. GAA bylaws do not require yearly nominations 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, 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 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 the 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.
