Nominations for the next steering committee chair are also open. This is a two-year term and would be best suited to someone who is familiar with ANITA and has had a good level of involvement in the chapter over the past few years. If you would like to nominate
as SC chair, please email a short paragraph describing your interest in leading the chapter to Patrick Clearwater (as above). If there are more than one nomination for chair, we will hold elections at the same time as the steering committee members. </div>
