Overview

We are pleased to announce the 2025 candidates for the Caltech Alumni Association’s Board of Directors and Officers.

There are 15 eligible nominees for the ten Caltech Alumni Association’s (CAA) Board of Director seats open, and six eligible nominees for the four Officer seats available in Fiscal Year 2025. Board Directors are elected on a rotating basis, and each Director serves a term of three years unless removed or resigned. Officers serve a two-year term.

Directors serve as stewards of the Association’s mission and funds, leveraging their professional skills and experiences as alumni to help guide and shape strategic services and programming for over 26,000 living alumni worldwide. The Officers must be current Board Directors having served at least one year on the Board.

As a CAA Member, your vote on the Caltech Alumni Association 2025 Election Ballot will help determine the ten Directors and four Officers selected to help lead the Board. Elected Directors and Officers will be formally announced during the Annual Meeting of Members on Thursday, September 26, 2024 at 6:00 pm (PT).

• Proven Leadership: The candidates approved by the CAA Board have demonstrated exceptional leadership in their respective fields.
• Diverse Expertise: The Board-Approved Slate offers a wide range of skills and experiences that are crucial for our continued success.
• Commitment to Community: Each candidate has demonstrated a strong commitment to our community’s values and goals.
