<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">As we approach our spring meeting, it is time to prepare the officer slate for 2021-2022. Chio Flores will be the president and Sue Orchard will transition to past-president. We ask that the treasurer
serve in the role for two years for consistency, thus Scott Latiolais will continue next year. Erin Blakeney is our current secretary and has graciously offered to continue in the role next year if we do not have others who are interested.
