GSOLE Election Call for Nominations |
Good morning, GSOLE members!
I want to begin this message by thanking the GSOLE leadership for the tireless and productive work they do for the organization. In particular, I want to thank Amy Cicchino (GSOLE President), Nikki Chasteen (GSOLE Secretary), Tina Calandrino (At-Large), Alex Evans (At-Large), and Patrice Johnson (At-Large) who will be cycling out of their roles at the beginning of July. You have been wonderful!
But this also means that it is time to choose new leaders: Vice-President, Secretary, and three At-Large Board Members. We are looking for nominees for these positions. You can either send me an email message (kde...@odu.edu) nominating yourself or nominating another GSOLE member. A description of each of these positions can be found below.
