The nominees selected by the Nominating and Governance Committee will be announced late next week. The nominees will be preparing bios well in advance of the election, and you will have an opportunity to contact them with questions should you wish to do so.

Also happening right now - N&GC is preparing for the annual review of the Board's performance. This year, the review will include individual interviews and a Q&A session. The results of the review and interviews will be given in St. Pete. I will be travelling directly to St. Pete from the F18 Championship in Pensacola.
