What is the difference between a nominated trustee candidate and a petition trustee candidate?
The Alumni Council’s Nominating and Alumni Trustee Search Committee spends hundreds of hours each year researching potential candidates for alumni trustee, ultimately producing up to two candidates per seat, as mandated by the constitution of the Association of Alumni. After the Alumni Council votes to ratify the candidates, it presents them to the entire alumni body. Once the nominees are made public, any other member of the Association of Alumni may petition onto the ballot if they obtain 500 signatures of association members.
