The Nominating Committee presented the following slate of officers: Dan Krasnegor, President, Nancy Hunt, Vice President, Tim Wise, Secretary, and Frances Finta plus Executive Committee members Robert Atkins, Nancy Graham, Michael Lane, Patrick Smaldore, and Randy Swart. Patrick Smaldore was nominated for Vice President from the floor, and then Nancy Hunt withdrew her nomination for that office. Kim Smith was then nominated for the Executive Committee.
