President-Elect ANNOUNCEMENT
A call for nominations was made in December for President-Elect and only one nomination was received, therefore, no election was held. At the Chapter Board's December meeting, the Board reviewed the candidate's qualifications and statement of motivation and voted unanimously to appoint Ras Cannady as the Chapter's new President-Elect. Mr. Cannady's prior role as PDO was subsequently filled by Mr. Xavier Williams, leaving the PDO-Elect position vacant. The Board voted in January to appoint former Board member, Marc Lewis-DeGrace, as interim PDO-elect to complete out this year's term.
