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.
