PATRON
Article 7.e.(ii) of the Association's constitution provides that "From time to time the Council may . . . invite an esteemed Canadian from outside the Association to serve as Patron for a term of three years". The Council is now seeking to appoint a Patron for the first time, and would welcome suggestions of suitable individuals from members. We would hope to appoint a person who has a recognized position in Canadian public or cultural life and who would be willing to assist in promoting and publicizing classical studies beyond the boundaries of academia. If you have suggestions, please communicate them in confidence to the President, James Murray ( jsm@unb.ca ); please do not consult the person(s) whose name(s) you are suggesting. All deliberations and resulting negotiations will be handled confidentially by the President and Council.
L'article 7.e (ii) des Statuts de la Société prévoit que «de temps en temps le conseil peut ... inviter un Canadien fort estimé et extérieur à la Société à servir comme Patron pour un mandat de trois ans». Le conseil est actuellement à la recherche de candidats pour désigner, pour la première fois, un Patron de la Société et accueillera toute suggestion venant de la part des membres. Nous espérons nommer une personne occupant une position reconnue dans la vie publique ou culturelle canadienne et qui serait prête à participer à la promotion et la publicité des études classiques en dehors du milieu académique. Si vous avez des suggestions, veuillez s'il vous plaît les transmettre en toute confidentialité au président, James Murray ( jsm@unb.ca ); prière de ne pas consulter la personne dont vous suggérez le nom. Les délibérations ainsi que les discussions résultantes seront prises en charge confidentiellement par le président et les membres du conseil.
