Dear Members,

I would like to provide you with an elections 2022 update. Below you will find the information for round #1 of voting, followed by the acclaimed positions that do not require a vote. Some committees with acclaimed Members may be expanded once rounds of voting are completed.

Voting requires a stagger due to Members appearing on multiple ballots. Voting will continue in further rounds  until complete - up to 3 rounds are possible. More information on future rounds of voting will be communicated after round #1 is complete. A list of positions in round #2 voting is included below. Member names and resume/bio's will be released when voting packages are released.
