Important 2020-21 Note: By vote of the membership in June 2020 all officer and board member terms were extended by one year due to the cancellation of the meeting due to the coronavirus pandemic. Thus, there was no election held in 2021 and the President and board members elected in the 2020 election were officially installed beginning fall 2021. In July 2020 all committee members were also offered the opportunity to extend their terms for one year, but could opt not to.
