Once per year, our Section is directed by its bylaws to elect a new set of Officers for the coming meeting year (September thru June). There are four Section Officers, each serves for a term of one year. The Section Executive Committee has ten seats; committee members each serve for a two-year term. Five of the seats elect in odd numbered years; five of the seats elect in even numbered years. Elections take place at the June Section meeting. A quorum of the members in the region must be present before the election can be held. Per the bylaws, a quorum is 15 members.

Accordingly then, it is time to conduct our yearly election. Any member of the Society may participate in this process by voting for and/or by running for office. Typically the current officers and committee members draw up the ballot, however anyone may 'throw their hat into the ring' by announcing their candidacy to one of the section officers or committee members.

If you are interested in running, and if you should be elected, you will need to become a member (associate or member) after the election. Please let the Section Chair, Secretary, or Nominations Chair know of your interest at least a week prior to the election. You can also self-nominate at the June meeting.

Those persons running for one of the Committee positions will be elected on the basis of total vote count; the seats going to the five largest number of votes.

Biographical sketches can be found after the List of Candidates.
