Nominating Committee at Work

 The USACCRA Nominating Committee is working the slate of officers and directors at large for the upcoming election.  The Committee wants to give a big THANK YOU to the members who have volunteered to serve.  Now it is a matter of making sure we have at least one person matched to each position come election time.  There are twelve positions to fill which begin serving in January 2014.  In order to prevent the entire Board of Directors from changing at once, four positions will serve one year, four two years and four three years.  Eventually, all terms of office will be three years.  The Nomination Committee welcomes any input.  If you have a suggestion or just want more information, please email contact@chaplainregiment.org.
