National Alumni Board Welcomes New Leadership

Frank Sharp ’67 and Alessandra Corso ’09, ’21 (MBA) have been elected to the National Alumni Board (NAB) as president and vice president, respectively. Sharp and Corso will replace outgoing President John M. Bradley ’98 and Vice President Monique Kelly ’94, ’97 (M.S.) beginning June 1, 2020. This year’s NAB election drew the highest-ever voter turnout.

Sharp is a dedicated alumnus with a nearly four-decades-long career in human resources and consulting. After graduating from Saint Joseph’s in 1967 with a degree in economics, he earned an MBA from The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. Sharp spent the majority of his career outside the United States, primarily working in Europe, Asia and Latin America, for large companies such as Exxon and ABB.

A 2009 graduate of the Erivan K. Haub School of Business with a degree in finance, Corso has had a successful career in the commercial real estate industry. She has remained committed to Saint Joseph’s over the years, serving as a member of the NAB’s New York regional affinity group, where she has helped to organize and promote networking events.

In addition to the election of Sharp and Corso, the NAB also recently appointed four new members, who started their two-year terms on June 1. The new members are: Lindsey Votto ’12, co-chair, Greater Philadelphia chapter; Rick Marsh ’84, chair, Baltimore Chapter; Nick Chingas ’16, co-chair, New York City chapter, and Rachel Sellers ’14, co-chair, young alumni chapter.
