Our 2017-2018 Board of Directors election will be concluded at the end of the Annual Meeting.  On-line voting will be available on or about August 28th after the secretary prepares the ballot per the Bylaws.  I will send links to the bios and ballots and everything you need, so watch for more information coming soon.

If you or someone you know would also like to be included on the ballot, there is still time!  An individual's nomination for the Board must be received by the Board at least 60 days before the election date (must be received by August 11th, 2017).  The DC Region Bylaws identify the requirements for Nomination to the BoD as follows:
