Congratulations to all the successful candidates. To those nominated but who were unsuccessful on this occasion, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for standing in this year’s election. Your willingness to serve your communities is appreciated and I encourage you to consider nominating again next year or at another opportunity in the future. 

Ballots were also conducted for vacancies on the Executive Committees of several of our Technical Committees. Those outcomes will be communicated via the respective TCs. Once again, thank you to all those who nominated to serve your TCs.

There will be more vacancies to fill on AdCom and our various ExComs in 2024. I will make an announcement about those vacancies in the March 2024 newsletter. If you are interested in serving in one of these positions or want to nominate somebody, please contact me at the email address shown below. 

Finally, I would like to thank the members of this year’s nominations committee for your service and for soliciting such high-quality candidates for this year’s elections.
