from [log in to unmask] I need one more volunteer to be part of the Elections Committee. This is a chance to affect the future of IALLT! Here's the official description of the committee and process: ELECTIONS The immediate past president nominates two members to serve on the election committee and chairs the committee. The Board approves the nominees.
