Elections & Bylaws Amendments

2023 Election Results are In

The Nominating Committee diligently examined and evaluated each candidate's nomination recommendation and application. The chosen candidates demonstrated exceptional knowledge, expertise, and skills through their comprehensive candidate profiles, which led to a highly competitive election. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all members who actively participated in the voting process to select our future leaders. Additionally, we would like to commend the commendable campaign efforts exhibited by all candidates throughout this election cycle. The elected candidates will soon receive additional instructions pertaining to their roles. For those who were not elected, we strongly encourage you to explore other volunteer positions or consider running again in the upcoming year. Please join us in congratulating our new slate of leaders!
