In the event there are more vol­un­teers than posi­tions avail­able, the Exec­u­tive Com­mit­tee will elect rep­re­sen­ta­tives. Elec­tion will be based on sub­mis­sions that will be request­ed from can­di­dates, which will describe your inter­est in serv­ing the com­mit­tee, and rel­e­vant expe­ri­ence that you may bring to the position.
