RHU laid another milestone in its journey as the RHU Alumni Association elections opened for the first time to allow members of the Alumni Association Council to vote for six candidates among eight seeking the position of Administrative Board member. The President of the Association won by default, being the only candidate running for this position. The Office of Communication and Alumni Relations coordinated the election process on Sunday, December 18, 2016 at RHU, enabling alumni living abroad to participate in the elections, by voting securely online through the RHU Alumni Community Online portal.
Dr. Adnan Elberjawi Yakzan was elected by default as President of the Alumni Association being the only candidate running for this position. The elected members of the administrative board were: Mr. Nasr Baba, Ms. Dana Bizri, Ms. Nazek Bohsali, Mr. Ahmad Diab El-Arab, Mr. Hisham Kotob, and Ms. Tahani Sinjab Zahr. Mr. Peter Chalhoub, will be a synonymous member in case any of the elected members resigns or is incapable of assuming anymore his or her responsibility.
Following the announcement of results by the Vice President for Development, Mr. Hisham Kobrosli, Dr. Adnan Yakzan delivered a brief address thanking specifically all those who contributed to the success of the elections and briefed the attendees on the plans of the elected board.
