By Aiessa Moyna | Chair, Nominating Committee
The STC election is scheduled to open on 10 March and close on 21 March 2014. To be eligible to vote, all STC members must have paid their dues by 31 January 2014.
Please note, STC bylaws specify that the Vice President automatically becomes President the following year. Kit Brown-Hoekstra automatically succeeds to the office of President from her previous office of Vice President. Therefore, she does not appear on the ballot this year.
