AYA Board of Governors Welcomes Two Members of the Class of 1987 to its Ranks

Recently, the Association of Yale Alumni ("AYA") went through its process for picking a new slate of members of its Board of Governors. Drawn largely from the representative body of the AYA Assembly, the Board of Governors works with the University administration and the AYA staff to set priorities for and guide the work of the AYA. The group was established following the formal adoption of the AYA Constitution in 1972. Made up of 24 elected and appointed members and a number of members ex officio, the AYA Board accomplishes much of its work through several focused committees. Elected and appointed members serve three-year terms, and the Board’s four officers – Chair, Vice-Chair, and two executive officers – serve one or two-year terms.

Here is the list of newly elected AYA Governors:

Jeannine Scott ’85 MA
Tim Harkness ’87
Joe Staley, Jr. ’59
Vikram Mansharamani ’96
Magda Vergara ’82
Scott Williamson ’80
Darcy Pollack '87
Robert (Bo) Hopkins '86 MBA


As you will see, the Class of 1987 is very well represented -- the current Board of Governors has two representatives from our class. Over the last several years, our class has been represented on the Board of Governors, most recently by Lynn Oberlander and, before Lynn, Kathy Edersheim. If you are interested in becoming active in Yale alumni activities -- either through the class or through some other part of the Yale community, please let me know.
