Weekend meetings typically run from Friday through Saturday afternoon. The presence of all of members is critical to the success of the Council. The Executive Committee has one additional meeting in early February.
• How are new members nominated?
  For all committees, candidates may be suggested by current members, by PA faculty & staff, and by soliciting nominations from all alumni, including current Council members. This stream may result in a longer pipeline (1-3 years) before everyone can be considered. To be considered for membership of the Class Secretaries Committee, Annual Giving Board Committee, or Alumni Admission Representatives Committee, nominees need to be active volunteers in those roles.
