2013 – 2014 Executive Board Nominations and Elections:
Until the above changes are decided upon we are going to suspend Article 5

2013, will remain until the August 29th T.A.P.E. meeting (this will
be a special meeting specifically to vote for a new board). A motion was made
by Heather Leggett to suspend the article, seconded by Stephanie Bayliff.

existing board until August 29th until the new board is elected,
