Rudy Grow Elected President of CASA

Two Executive Positions Still Remain Empty

NewsVince Morello — Published February 22, 2017

Grow served as the Vice-President of External Affairs of CASA this past year. He said that if elected, he’d like to conduct a survey for John Molson School of Business students, in order to better understand their needs.

“If we got at least 50 per cent of the students at JMSB to fill out the survey, we’d have a great base for decision making going forward,” Grow said in a previous interview.

After the elections, two executive positions, VP Finance, and VP External Affairs, and two spots for independent directors still remain available. Details are yet to be released on how these positions will be filled.

Last year, two positions remained empty after the general elections, but members were later elected at a CASA Board of Director meeting.

CASA represents more than 7,000 students.The quorum for elections is 2.5 per cent, so about 175 students. In total, 726 students voted in this election, including 14 students who chose to vote online, while the rest voted in person.
