Welcome to the Election Committee homepage
Guild members and our community are encouraged to support the Guild’s operations by volunteering for one of the many positions in our management team, including our committees, in any way that they can. This page provides a nexus for the Election Committee to conduct our annual elections, and the membership to review election operation and history.
