Election Update #4

Welcome to our weekly Association of Graduates election e-newsletter that provides updated information about our organization's election — to be conducted through March 22, 2021.

LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD
Thank you to all who have already voted in this important election. We are all plenty busy, there's no disputing that! But your Association of Graduates would appreciate a few minutes of your time this week. The 2021 Board and Bylaw Election is past the halfway point and a majority of AOG members have yet to cast their ballots. Please set aside a little time today to help us reach the 25% quorum requirement for the election!

1966 SETTING HIGH BAR
At the halfway point of the election, 1966, 1969 &1975 are in the top 3, with 1966 continuing to lead the pack, sitting at 45.2% voter participation. Impressive!

It's not too late to catch these top classes, however. A strong uptick in votes can result in a huge percentage jump for your class.

While some of the younger classes may not have as high participation, 2008 has already exceeded total voter participation from the 2019 election by 4.5%! We encourage all of you to get involved and help set the AOG's direction for years to come!

Remember: The class from each decade (FYI, the Class of 1959 will be included in the decade of the 1960s) with the highest percentage of voters during this election will receive a $500 donation to its Class Gift Fund. So, rally your classmates — near and far — to vote in the AOG election. Bragging rights for your class are at stake!!
