Incoming Student Council President Noah Sullivan released his nominees yesterday for Council's 2004-05 executive board.
Sullivan nominated Adam Sanders for chief technology administrator, David Perdue for chief financial officer, Peter Farrell for director of University relations and current Council President Daisy Lundy for chief of staff.
"I call it the dream team," Sullivan said. "It's a wonderful group of people that will accomplish great things with Council."
The nominees will go before the representative body for approval April 28. Their appointment will round out Council's executive board, which is made up of the president, the three vice presidents and four appointments made by the president.
Sullivan said he was pleased with the application process. According to Sullivan, the decisions were made based on the applications and interviews, with input from the current executive board.
"I think that each person will bring something important and specific to the executive board," Sullivan said. "It is going to be a strong board because we sought people who would bring new things to the table -- that's how we decided on these folks. They bring different perspectives about the University student experience."
Sullivan said he was glad he could get representation from different University schools. Sanders is a second year in the Engineering School, Farrell a second year in the College and Perdue a first year in the Darden School.
Lundy said she was excited about the prospects of working with Sullivan for another year. Sullivan served as her chief of staff this past year.
"Noah and I have worked together well as a team this year," Lundy said. "Having been Council president as a third year, I am closely involved with many initiatives concerning Council."
Lundy, who said she wanted to remain involved with Council without serving another term as president, added that her experience with Council would give her a unique perspective.
"Having spent so much time working on a number of Council initiatives, I feel personally invested in their outcomes," she said. "I feel that I have a lot to offer in facilitating younger members of Council."
Sanders said he looks forward to working as Council's chief technology administrator.
"I am really excited about combining the technical skills I am acquiring as an Engineer and student leadership," Sanders said. "I am extremely excited about working with Noah. I think he has put together a great team."
Sullivan said he was optimistic about what Council could accomplish with the help of the proposed executive board.
"As a whole, we are going to set some broad goals including reforming the appropriations process and working on the priorities the other candidates and I set out during our campaigns," he said. "We have lots of ambitious ideas with a wide range of experience."
