The actual elections were held at our monthly chapter meeting, held on April 12, 2023. Because there was only one candidate for each officer position, the officers were elected by using via the 'motion' mechanism (Roberts Rules of Order). The motion was worded such that ALL listed candidates will be elected into office by unanimous vote. The motion passed and the attending members approved the motion.
