It is with regret that the Board accepts Frank's resignation from the position President Elect. Frank accepted a new position with his employer that will prevent him from participating. Therefore, nominations for the position will be accepted from the floor at the July 16 membership meeting, candidatess will speak, and the vote will be taken. The Board felt that since the President Elect will serve as President in 2002, the membershipshould fill this vacancy rather than the Board.
