On behalf of the Nominating Committee, it is my pleasure to present the candidates for office for the next year.

If there is more than one candidate for any office, then we will have a vote at that time. ZI actually encourages elections rather than appointments; so please don’t be shy about submitting a nomination if you would like to do that. The actual installation of offices and directors will occur at the June meeting.
