SLATE FOR 2003 ELECTION ANNOUNCED
Cindy Mediavilla, chair of the 2003 Nominations Committee, has announced the preliminary slate of candidates for the 2003 election. Ballots will be distributed in late June, and winners will take office in November, following the annual conference.

Section members will also receive a ballot to vote for section officers and section representatives to the assembly.
Individuals may be added to the ballot by petition. Properly completed petitions must be submitted to the executive director within 25 days of publication of this report. Nominations for vice president/president elect require the signature of 2 percent of the voting members of CLA (33 signatures are needed).
