These nominations, and any additional, will be subject to the membership vote in July. The time for nominations for officers for the 2024-2025 has expired. However, additional nominations for Directors (also known as Executive Committee members) may be made from the floor, at the July meeting, or prior to the meeting by written nomination submitted to the Division Secretary, Karen Lieu, at email address kblieu@pacbell.net.
