III. Notes Regarding Slate of Candidates
The following is the slate being offered by the Nominating Committee. The slate consists of only those members of the Board of Trustees who are up for election or re-election (also see candidate details). In accord with the scheme for staggered rotation in effect since 1996, the current terms of approximately one-third of the Committee Chair and Term Trustees are expiring each year, and vacancies may also occur on account of resignations. Rosters of current Officers and Trustees and their terms appear below.
