Last month, the Alumni Association held its first-ever Leadership Board elections, electing an outstanding group to serve in the coming year. The Leadership Board is responsible for coordinating alumni activities and involvement on a regional and national level. Each region has a Leadership Board comprised of a President, Vice President, and Secretary (at least in theory – there are vacancies in a few regions).

Many of the candidates ran unopposed, but the few who didn’t were part of a hotly-contested election – the race was tight until the end. So, without further ado, I’d like to introduce you to the new Alumni Association Leadership Board. To learn more about these leaders, click on their names to view their candidate speeches. (The year after their names represents the year they first became involved in SSDP.)
