Last Notice: Officer Elections and Candidacy Announcements

All,
On February 26th, all candidates for 802.20 Officer positions were requested to declare the intentions, if they wished to have their names printed on the ballots.

The current Officers have stated their intentions to stand for re-election. We have also received a statement from a member stating an intention to run for Chair. This person will issue their own announcement later.

We have received no other statements.

Saturday March 6th is the last day to state your intention and have your name printed on the ballots.

However,we will take nominations at the Plenary and ballots will have spaces for write-in candidates.
