The New Board of Directors

As of ratification of the new ByLaws March 31, 2023, the board of directors have changed. As with prior years, however, the board elections occur with half the members on even years, and the other half on odd years. This staggered schedule is intended to improve continuity from year to year.

The first round under the new ByLaws was a special election completed in June 2023.  The second round concluded in November 2023.

Going forward, elections will be scheduled in the fall with voting to conclude in November one to two weeks prior to the Annual Membership Meeting.
