WAA: Italy Chapter
The founding members of our Club will serve jointly as the first Board of Directors. Catherine L. Farwell was unanimously nominated Club Secretary for the group's first year, in fulfillment of the WAA's requirement that the Club select a specific person to stay in contact with its headquarters in Madison.
During the foundation process of the Club it was also decided that--for the present--no other Club Officers will be nominated. Instead, the 11 members of the board will equally share the burden of the Club's primary mission (stated above).
Contact addresses for the board members will soon be listed on this site, so that UW alumni, students and friends of the University planning to visit or get involved with the group, can contact members directly according to individuals' geographical location or area of academic/professional interest.
