This information remains preliminary and unofficial, but we have it on good authority that John Ryan has been selected by the board to fill the vacancy that resulted from Geordan Goldstein’s removal. John previously served on the board in 2011-2012 when he was selected to fill the vacancy resulting from BIll King’s resignation.

    • Treasurer: Marc Albaum
