Southern Chapter Elections

The State Elections Chair (Georgia Pedicini) is overseeing Southern's elections for this April. Candidates are currently being solicited.

A minimum of three board members is needed. Since it is a small chapter, some of the positions could be combined or redefined to meet the needs of this chapter. In addition, due to the Chapter's dual focus of Las Cruces and White Sands, it may be appropriate to have more than one of a position, e.g., EYH Chair/WSMR and EYH Chair/NMSU.
Possible positions:

Being on the board is a great way to meet people and help define the newly revitalized Southern Chapter. For questions about this election, suggestions on the structure, or to send your (or your nominee's) candidate profile, contact Georgia Pedicini (gap@lanl.gov) or Tinka Gammel (jtg@lanl.gov)
