At the section meeting during the National Conference March 20-23, we will be voting for our leadership positions once again. All Officers and Members-at-Large are up for election in this cycle. Most incumbent members have affirmed their willingness to serve another three year term if re-elected. (Click on NBS Leadership for current positions). There are three existing office holders who are stepping down and we must vote in new leadership for those positions. These are the Vice Chair for Programming, Metro Member at Large and Northwest Member at Large. We have asked candidates that are interested in serving to write a short biographies introducing themselves to the rest of the section and those are included.
