CAB chair resigns, board position open

Vice Chair of Records Aaron Eagle ran the CAB meeting Tuesday night, as he announced that CAB Chair Molly O’Connell has resigned, leaving a position open on the executive board.
Vice Chair of Programming Morgan Carrico was absent Tuesday, but will be replacing O’Connell, who resigned due to a family emergency, according to Eagle. That leaves the vice chair of programming position open for nominations. The candidate must be a CAB representative for more than one semester to qualify for the position. Anyone who meets this qualification can email a board member or stop in the CAB office to apply. Voting will take place at 6 p.m., during next Tuesday’s meeting.
