Board Elections & Nominations
At our June 14, 2026 member meeting we will kick off our first Board elections!
Four candidates, listed below, submitted nominations prior to the May 31 deadline.
While we only received four nominations for the upcoming election, our bylaws call for five Board members. We look forward to adding more members as candidates step forward. Per the bylaws, it is too late to declare candidacy for the June election, but if you are interested in serving, please contact Sam Brill to discuss.
