Posted on Tuesday the 16th of March, 2010 at 11:58 pm
At the 2010 Regional Convention this past weekend, four new officers were elected: Sonja Durik (President), Jeremy Schaub (Central Vice President), Nicholas Sanborn (Southern Vice President), and Patricia Douglass (Officer-at-Large). Welcome to our new officers! Much more information will be added about them soon, but in the meantime, you can learn more about them at our “Meet the Officers” page.
Since two vacancies remain after the Regional Convention, we will be holding a special election to fill the offices of Northern Vice President and Officer-at-Large. The deadline to submit an application for candidacy run is March 31st. For general guidelines and information, you can review the Officer Candidate Packet. If you are interested in running for office, please review the regional officer application 2010.
Please note that, although the election will be held at the International Convention, you do not need to be present to run. If you are interested in running, please contact Michelle Nickerson for full details before filling out the application.
