Statement
I adopt the statement of John Mathias and urge election of our entire slate.

I am running as a loyal and devoted Dartmouth alumna to help the College move forward in a positive direction. The divisive lawsuit filed against the College by six current petition elected members of the Association Executive Committee does not represent me nor do I believe the vast majority of Dartmouth alumni. This lawsuit is doing measurable harm to the College. Regardless of anyone’s opinion on alumni governance issues, it’s critical for Dartmouth’s future that this divisive lawsuit be dismissed and that we move forward in a positive, united way. I am honored to be part of the slate put forward by the Nominating Committee, welcome your support, and encourage you to engage our fellow alumni in this important election.
