We hope this move will give other members a chance to be more active in the chapter and allow the officer board to do more for the members. This page outlines the nomination and voting process. A very brief description of the officer responsibilities is also available. We are trying to keep this process simple. We encourage you to vote in this election. We further encourage you run for office if you are interested. Your Current Board Members

The current term of office is a period of one calendar year starting January 1, 2007 for all offices. The current board has had discussions, during the past year, of the possibility of changing some offices to multi-year, staggering some office terms, or to limiting the term of some offices. These discussions were tabled due to the timing and concurrence with upcoming the elections. If there is interest in the future, the 2007 officers may consider these changes. Top of Page
