Election Runoff
We wanted to thank members for participating in the recent 2024-2025 MNRS Elections for the Board of Directors and Nominating Committee, however, the outcome did result in a tie in the race for one of the Nominating Committee Member positions.
As a result, we will be holding a runoff election to determine the final candidate for this role. All active members will receive a ballot via email containing a unique voter access key and a link to the voting platform. You MUST use your unique access key to cast your vote.
The MNRS Runoff Election will take place January 6, 2025 - January 21, 2025, at 5 p.m. Eastern.
