MEChA/ALAS Elections

The final official meeting of MEChA/ALAS this year was, of course, the elections for next year. As per our tradition, the meeting began with the current leaders giving a description of their positions on their board, those running for e-board each talking about why they want to be on the board and finally opening it up to questions from any of the members for the candidates to answer.

There were a couple surprises that night. The first one, which presumably some people knew about, was from Danny Cruz. Danny was the chair (president) of MEChA/ALAS last year as a junior, but took this year off, so he will be coming back as a senior next year. Wanting to run again, Danny had his girlfriend Cristina Franco bring her labtop to the meeting so that Danny could run via the power of the Internet. (Whoa.)
The second surprise was from Beto, who started answering questions despite not being on the ballot and at the last minute was encouraged to throw his hat into the race for Co-Chair (vice-president).

We have a strong competition going on, so there will hopefully be a strong e-board forming to continue what we have done next year.
