SCHB Officer Nominations

Dear fellow SCHB members:In 2025, SCHB has three officer positions up for election. These are:

Chair Elect: The Chair-Elect’s term will begin on January 1, 2026 and run through December 31, 2027.  On January 1, 2028, the Chair-Elect will become the Chair of SCHB for 2 years, with the term expiring on December 31, 2029. SCHB Bylaws do not allow the current Chair to run for Chair-Elect.
Treasurer: The Treasurer’s term will begin on January 1, 2026, and run through December 31, 2027.  SCHB Bylaws allow the current Treasurer to run for re-election.
Secretary: The Secretary’s term will begin on January 1, 2026, and run through December 31, 2026.  SCHB Bylaws allow for the current Secretary to run for re-election.
Normally the Secretary serves for 2 years, but in order to get staggered terms for Secretary and Treasurer, this year’s Secretary will serve for one year only, to allow for continuity of institutional knowledge.These officer positions are vital for the functioning of SCHB, and the Nomination Committee is soliciting nominations for all three offices.  Nominations will be accepted until July 15, 2025.
