Dear All,

 

It may seem far off at the moment, but now is the time to start thinking about this year’s QPenn. Lambda will be hosting elections for the QPenn board at our next general body meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 30th. Think about running for one of the positions! If you loved QPenn last year, now is your chance to be a part of making it even greater this time around. Attached is a list of the six board positions and their descriptions. Please look over them carefully and consider running, or think of someone you would want to nominate.

 

Your Lambda Board,

Dennie Zastrow, Chair

Baylee Feore, Vice Chair of Political Affairs

Kyle Lutkewitte, Vice Chair of Internal Affairs

Tyler Ernst, Vice Chair of Finance and Development

Paul Richards, Vice Chair of Communications
