Each year the AHA headquarters office receives several dozen invitations to participate in presidential inaugurations at academic institutions or anniversary convocations of learned societies. Since neither the President nor the other elected officers of the Association can personally attend these numerous functions, a delegate is appointed to represent the AHA membership.
The AHA is honored that the following members agreed to serve as its representatives last fall:
Rosemary A. Castelli, chair, Business Administration/Arts & Sciences, Goldey Beacom College at the inauguration of the twenty third president of the University of Delaware
David T. Courtwright, chair, department of history, University of Hartford at the inauguration of the tenth president of Central Connecticut State University
