Message from Ruth:
As our President, Kathy mentioned, the officers terms will be coming to end and Kathy will become our past president.
Therefore we will be holding elections for 2016-17 officers. The positions are for one year from July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018.
They are:

- Sergeant at Arms
Please see Article VI and VII of our bylaws for information about officer elections and officer roles, respectively.
In summary:
At least two weeks prior to election (right now!)
- Club nominating committee: (looks like I am the only one on the committee so just email me directly for nominations).
- appointed by the club president
- the chair is the immediate past club president
- consists of three active members
- presents report at a regular business meeting of nominees
Meeting prior to election (April 25th):

Please let me know if you have any questions.
If I am mistaken in my dates, please let me know and I will revise.
If you want to nominate someone for a position, feel free to email me. We can also double up on roles.
Thank you,
Ruth
