Nominations for our 2021 Executive Board officially closed yesterday, 25 Oct, as communicated. We appreciate everyone who participated in the process, and will now move to verify each nomination to ensure that the nominee accepts the nomination. 

Once everything is verified, we'll begin the election process at our November meeting on 08 Nov. Elections will be held online via our chapter website, and then the 2021 board will be installed at our December meeting, likely also held online. 

AATW!
