The day’s meetings are a recap of many of the same reports made on Friday at the general membership meeting. To read the recap of that meeting click here.
The major agenda item was the election of the 2010 Executive Committee. All but one spot was filled with the nominating committee’s recommendation. The Member-At-Large Youth Vice President had a nomination from the floor. That nomination was Leslie Topham from Utah. She ran against the nominating committee’s candidate, Margo Urad from Texas. After a speech by each candidate, Urad won the seat by a margin of 43-20.
