This is the slate of officers and council members nominated for 2021–2022:
Chair-Elect: Joe Cleveland

If you would like to make a nomination from the floor, please email the resume and contact information of the nominee to the head of the Nominations Committee, Derrick Pizarro. All floor nominations must be received by 5 p.m. CDT on June 25 to be considered. Nominees must be members of the section who are current on their dues.
This slate of nominees will be presented via email with a link for a digital membership vote on July 2, in lieu of our normal in-person vote.
Thank you and stay safe,
Leisa Peschel, Chair
