Congrats guys!

Now, one more thing. Besides the elected positions, the board is made up of appointed positions. They are Alumni Liason, Community Chair, and 1L Liason. Over the past year, these positions were filled by Zac Wang, Dan Park, Joo Cha, and Chris Day. Now that elections are over, we are looking for some good people to apply for these appointed positions. If you are interested in any of these positions, please look over the descriptions below and submit a written statement to Eric Averion ( averion@bc.edu) explaining why you would like to be considered. Have this statement sent to me by this Sunday, Mar. 26, and the newly elected board will be meeting sometime next week to read over your statements and fill those positions.

All right, that's all from me for right now. Congratulations again to the newly elected board, and for those interested in the appointed positions, please get your statements to me by Sunday.
