Dear PKU Alumni:

The current PUAASC Executive Committee (EC) has been serving our members for almost two years, and seven out of eleven Board of Directors (BOD) have been serving our members for almost four years. According to PUAASC bylaw, a new Executive Committee and seven new board members should be elected and in place at the beginning of year 2010. EC's term is 2 years, and BOD's term is 4 years. The current serving EC and BOD members' list can be accessed in our website at www.pku.org

The rules for elections are simple:

1). Each competing EC team shall consist of a President candidate and at least one Vice President candidate. To represent the broad member base of PUAASC, each team is encouraged, but not required, to have up to four Vice Presidents (at least one from Beijing Medical University and one student). The responsibility of the new EC is to manage the day-to-day operation of PUAASC from 2010 to 2011; and the responsibility of the board members is to supervise and provide resource for PUAASC;

2). Each candidate must present the election committee their valid affiliation with Peking University (PKU) and PUAASC meeting ALL of the following requirements:

- Effective studying/working affiliation with PKU. It can be a formal degree or diploma issued by Peking University; without the diploma or degree, the candidate need to provide other legal documents proving the candidate has studied or worked in PKU equal to or longer than one year of time span.

- Residence in southern California, including the Los Angeles metropolitan area and San Diego area. It can be a utility bill or equivalent.

3) The newly elected President of EC automatically becomes a BOD. Each of the BOD candidates shall be nominated by an existing BOD member, and election of the BOD shall immediately begin after EC election.

The candidates need to fax the above documents to 866-447-8750, or email the scanned copies to election@pku.org.

Needless to say, serving our members is an honorable cause. It not only brings friendship and happiness to our fellow alumni, but also contributes to our own growth. Please nominate yourself or anyone you know who is willing to become a new EC member candidate by sending an e-mail to election@pku.org. Your help will benefit and be greatly appreciated by every member of PUAASC. The nomination deadline is Nov 15, 2009. The proposed election date will be held on Nov 21, 2009.

Best regards,

PUAASC 2009
