It is time again for Board Elections ! We moved to online voting last year and it was a huge success with 50% more participation than a typical Alumni Weekend.
This year Alumni will also be voting to accept/reject Bylaw updated proposed by the LPEAA Board.
Each year we elect five (5) Board Members to the Alumni Association. Each Board Member serves a term of three (3) years. That gives us fifteen (15) Board Members at any given time.
The fifteen (15) Board Members then elect an Executive Board consisting of the following positions: Chair, Vice Chair, Property Manager, Treasurer, and Secretary. Additional positions include: National Liaison, Clarkson/GAC Liaison, Active Liaison as well as Committee Chairs and members. You can view the current LPEAA Board at www.lpeaa.com/board.
Board meetings occur on the first Sunday of every month via conference call.
Successfully running the Alumni Association requires fifteen (15) plus volunteers actively involved. We encourage you to get involved. Being on the board is NOT a full-time job and the amount of time you need will vary with how involved you want to get. Involvement during the first year is usually pretty small as you learn the ropes. The LPEAA Board has approved Board Member Expectations, which will help guide members on what is expected of them.
