Vote Action

LettersGeoff O’Brien — Published March 22, 2011

Khalil Haddad has over and again shown that he is capable of the vision and commitment so highly sought in a leader and representative. His commitment is tempered with the compassion and empathy that, to me, distinguish the inspired leaders from the merely competent. All this coupled with bedrock skills like juggling schedules, marshaling forces and giving support and encouragement. I’ve seldom met someone who I have been so comfortable working with.

When I heard about the nominations for our association’s VP Academic position, I was certain I could handle the job, but it was Khalil that had me convinced that I should run. Along with his professional approach, Khalil is extremely passionate, which to me is invaluable in such endeavors.

This was evident to me from the start. From his eagerness in putting together an association team that he felt could truly make a difference to students, to his elation at seeing the excitement and enthusiasm of students and peers at a successful event or even a meeting.

I encourage you all to support team Action on March 29, 30, 31!
