Dear AUB alumni:

The Nominations Committee is pleased to kick off the 2012 WAAAUB elections.

As per the WAAAUB bylaws which were revised in 2011, alumni will only be electing Council members from the designated geographic regions.

As with prior elections, the 2011 elections will be conducted on a worldwide basis in a seamless and effective manner, and will be managed by an independent third party. The objective remains consistent: to ensure that WAAAUB continues to represent and act on behalf of all AUB alumni.

If you believe you or someone you know would be a good candidate, please email the Nominations Committee at: nominations-committee@waaaub.org, by the deadline of February 28. When nominating someone, please include your candidate’s email/contact information so we can request that the person complete a candidate’s biography.
