Let's continue the conversation on the AOA Blog

This blog was originally established by us within the AGTF to enable alumni/ae to provide input and ask questions while the Task Force was working to create a new alumni governance constitution. Since that process has now been completed, it is appropriate that the nature of this site be changed. It will continue to be available to anyone wishing to review past postings; however, since the proposed new constituion is now in final form, no new comments will be accepted. Future posts (if any) will be strictly for announcement or clarification purposes.

We encourage you to continue this important conversation on the Association of Alumni blog site (dartmouthaoa.blogspot.com), which will continue to accept comments.

Alumni seeking clarification from the AGTF on a specific constitutional matter may continue to do so by emailing us at AGTaskForce [at] alum [dot] dartmouth [dot] org, which will go to all of us, and we will respond to your email.

Thank you to everyone who gave us feedback! We hope that the civil, stick-to-the-issues tone prevalent during our comment-seeking period will carry over to the discussion and debate on the AOA Blog.

Sincerely,

Jim Adler '60, Anton Anderson '89,
Trevor Burgess '94, JB Daukas '84,
Kelley Fead '78, Martha Hennessey '76,
Bill Hutchinson '76, Joe Mandel '60,
Joe Stevenson '57 (Chair)
Dartmouth Alumni Governance Task Force

UPDATE: Despite a certain blog that likes to spin things with little regard to the facts, we stand by our decision to close this blog to comments, referring readers to the AOA Blog. Conspiracy and titillation presumably drive links, which drive ad revenue, so we'll pass on linking to the accusing blogger's site. To reiterate, the comment-gathering phase of our work is complete, so it seems best to have a single conversation about this issue on the AOA blog, rather than separate ones. While we no longer allow comments to be posted (ironically, just like the blog damning us for it), our blog and archives[1] remain intact; as accessible to all as they have ever been. The search feature, conveniently cropped in the "reference" views posted by the accusing blogger, has been in place since day one. Everyone is also free to continue to email us.
