After celebrating its centennial commitment to public service this past weekend, the Phillips Brooks House Association (PBHA) Cabinet met last night to elect the top nine officers who will lead the group next year.
The top two posts-president and executive vice president--were first up for grabs, but few were grabbing.
In fact, the team of Trevor S. Cox '01-'02 and Andrew Park '01-'02 swept the two positions, respectively, uncontested. Jan Hridel '02 and Rebecca A. Windt '02 were elected treasurer and secretary, respectively.
Two fund-raisers, two programmers, and an events coordinator were also elected, but the results were not available at press time.
But because the highest positions were chosen first and three of the top four positions were uncontested, the evening was more a low-key discussion of PBHA past and present than a battle for titles.
Cox, who has worked extensively within PBHA since his sophomore year, used his speech time to reflect on the group's achievements and to look ahead to new opportunities.
"We have to realize why PBHA exists and maximize what we do as a group," Cox said. "We officers must try to make the organization run as smoothly as possible."
Park said Cox and he had developed an excellent partnership in their previous work together, particularly as teachers in the Refugee Youth Term Enrichment program.
