• Paul L. Carter, CGCS candidate questionnaire | candidate video

For vice president:

• Marc E. Weston, CGCS candidate questionnaire | candidate video

For secretary/treasurer:

• Steven J. Hammon, CGCS candidate questionnaire | candidate video

Director positions

Six members are on the slate to fill two open director positions:

• Aaron Fankhauser, CGCS candidate questionnaire | candidate video

• Renee Geyer, CGCS candidate questionnaire | candidate video

• Ryan Kraushofer, CGCS candidate questionnaire | candidate video

• Brandon Razo, CGCS candidate questionnaire | candidate video

• Brian J. Roth, CGCS candidate questionnaire | candidate video

• Matthew Rusch candidate questionnaire | candidate video

There are two open director positions, each for a two-year term, as the terms of Kraushofer and Roth are expiring. Both candidates running for the Secretary/Treasurer position are currently serving the first year of two-year director terms. As a result, the outcome of the Secretary/Treasurer election will create an additional one-year vacancy on the Board, which will also need to be filled.

T.A. Barker, CGCS, will serve on the board for one year as immediate past president. Jeff L. White, CGCS, retires from the board after service the last year as immediate past president.
