Special Election for President

Chapter members,

We will be holding a special election on 29 Sept, to elect a new President.  Myself and the current Vice President have been tasked to deploy and will be unable to perform the necessary duties as the President and Vice.  I will be stepping down at the end of this month.

I am looking for candidates to fill the position of the President, this is worthwhile endeavor.  We have an excellent executive council, we need a leader to lead them.

If you are interested or know someone who might be interested, please let me know (david NULL.sopshier null@null eglin NULL.af NULL.mil) soonest.

Suspense: 22 September
