Board Nominations / Election - Mike
The only respondent to the opening for President Elect was Dana Kimmel. By Chapter governing rules and regulations, a voice vote by the Chapter members is all that is needed for election. The Board agreed that this voice vote will be held at the next (March 12th) meeting. The vote will be held after Van's welcome, and will be conducted location by location.
