At each Annual Meeting, Officers and three At-Large Board Members are elected to serve for the next term. This will serve to notify members of the candidates who have volunteered to serve in Officer and Board positions for the 2027 Board year. Having received no further nominations, we ask that you please affirm your vote for the slate of nominees whose terms will begin January 2027. Also please vote to accept the 2026 Annual Meeting Minutes and the 2026 Annual Financial Reports.

We encourage you to vote online. Printing and postage consume a significant amount of resources from our budget. Help us make the best use of the dues you pay.

Your Legislative Committee has been active, meeting with a key advisor to Gov. Kemp and with several important legislators to obtain support for our issues.
