Zimmerman Conference Room, Blunt Alumni Center, Dartmouth College
Hanover, NH 

Participating: Susan Dentzer, Susan Finegan, Lynne Gaudet, Aly Jeddy, Ken Johansen, Meg Ramsden

Association of Alumni president Susan Finegan ’85 opened the meeting via telephone.

  • The first item on the agenda was the secretary’s minutes.  Meg Ramsden ’87 reported that the minutes of last year’s Association of Alumni annual meeting were approved shortly after that meeting and were posted on the Association of Alumni website.  In addition, the minutes of the two conference calls held by the Association of Alumni Executive Committee since last year’s annual meeting have been approved and are also posted on that same website.
  • The second item on the agenda was brief remarks from the president.  Sue Finegan thanked the retiring officers/members of the Association of Alumni executive committee, Mark Harty ’73 and Karen Francis-DeGolia ’84, for their service, and welcomed Susan Dentzer ’77 and Aly Jeddy ’93 as the incoming officers/members. The Association of Alumni nominated slate was not contested, so as a result of the constitutional amendment approved by an alumni vote which addressed uncontested elections, no election was held for the Association of Alumni executive committee and officers. The 2016-2017 Association of Alumni Officers and Executive Committee are as follows, effective today (March 14, 2016):
