Congratulations to the newly elected officers!

With more voter participation than any other recent election the EJC Alumni have spoken. The 2012 Officers have been chosen and the agenda for the year is already under way. With a focus on building the EJC Alumni directory we should start seeing positive results by the end of the quarter. Our first conference call will be April 14th and ALL EJC Alumni are invited to participate.

Your new officers are as follows:

I just wanted to take a moment out to congratulate the new 2012 officers of EJC’s Alumni Association. I know each of you have contributed to EJC in your own unique way. For that, I am extremely grateful and the students have no doubt benefited from your leadership. ~ Al Nolan

The future of our group, and the program itself, looks even more promising. Rest assured this new class of officers will take the advancements of past bodies and continue to grow the impact of the group.

Thanks again for everyone’s involvement in the voting process.
