Section Officer Elections
Section Officer Elections will be held at 5:00 pm: both in-person at GCYC and via Zoom for those who cannot attend in person. Please identify two students from each chapter who can be delegates to select our next Section officer team and encourage your students to consider running for Section office.
A note from Section President, Madison Melendez:
Good Morning Y'all,
I hope you are all doing well. Here I have attached the Section 8 Officer Intent to Run form. I can not believe we are already here and the State Convention is in June! The elections will be held in person & virtual on April 30th at the Section 8 Fair at Gary Comer Youth Center. If you have any questions or concerns please let me know. Hope to see y'all there.
