<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">As we approach the Spring meeting (which would have been held this week!), it is that time in the year when we identify a slate of<span class="apple-converted-space">
</span><b>candidates for the executive officers of the commission</b>. Generally, we have two positions on the exec board that are already “set” – president (which is the existing vice president, Sue Orchard) and the immediate past-president (current president,
Jessica Gilmore English) – so we’re off to a great start!</span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

</span><b>vice president, treasurer, and secretary</b>. There are<span class="apple-converted-space">
</span><b>additional at-large positions</b><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>
that are appointed by the incoming president; and we generally wait until we have the core team identified as those appointments may help achieve more equitable representation on the exec team.
