The 2019-2020 SCS Nominating Committee, co-chaired by Lillian Doherty and Ralph Rosen, has worked hard through the late Fall 2019 and early 2020. The Committee is pleased to present the following slate of candidates for election in Summer 2020. All candidates listed below have agreed to stand. SCS will publish candidate statements in the late spring or early summer and online voting will begin as usual on or around August 1.

The Nominating Committee has also prepared a narrative report on their procedures.

In late March 2020, the SCS office will issue a new volunteer form for members who wish to volunteer for election in summer 2021 and committee appointments starting in January 2021. Please look out for this form and volunteer!
