Your VOTE matters: Trustee Elections open from now until April 7!

NAAAD urges you to vote in the Dartmouth Trustee and Association of Alumni Executive
Committee elections, from March 10-April 7, 2010.

The Native American Alumni Association of Dartmouth (NAAAD) will endorse Morton
Kondrake '60 and John Replogle '88 for the Board of Trustees.

Kondrake and Replogle have been fully vetted by the Alumni Council over a two-year
process. For more information on this process, see: http://alumni.dartmouth.edu/default.aspx?id=437.

Morton Kondrake, Class of '60, has been a national journalist for over 40 years,
and an executive editor and columist at Roll Call. He was an editor at The New
Republic, Washington bureau chief of Newsweek and a Wall Street Journal columnist.
Mort frequently appeared on Meet the Press and NPR. He is on the boards of the
