STMA’s candidates for the 2018 Board of Directors

Each year, the STMA Nominating Committee develops a slate of candidates for election to the Board of Directors and presents them to the membership via an electronic ballot in late November.

The board includes 13 members: five Officers and eight Directors. Four of the Officers are slated unopposed; the Secretary/Treasurer has two candidates. Up for election are four Director positions: Academic, Parks and Rec, Higher Education, and Director-at-Large.

Three Director positions are vacant and will be filled by (incoming) President Sarah Martin, CSFM, per the STMA Bylaws. The Schools K-12 Director position, which is held by Sun Roesslein, CSFM, is not up for election this year.
