Officer Elections!

Hello Colleagues,

As our big 50th Anniversary meeting approaches it is time to think about nominations for the important roles that help our society run and make these events possible. Three very important chairs will be open for election at our meeting, these include President-elect, Membership Director, and Scholarship Director.
