She suggested that this could be the role of the President Elect to chair this committee. The Executive Board Meeting will meet in July or August and will ask the membership for committee volunteers. Andy Ditlevson noted that MCUCSA is in violation of the constitution which
says that the President Elect will be the Program Chair when, in reality, is not
the Chair. This was tabled until the next meeting. Chris Otis-Skinner made a
motion that we take a look at the constitution and bylaws and bring any
recommendations to the next summer meeting. Motion was seconded by Ed
