With the vacancy of the President position, we will be taking nominations at our September chapter meeting.
The September Chapter meeting will be held on September 11th at 5:30 pm in the library at Thurston High School.
We will accept nominations again at the October chapter meeting at which time, nominations close and balloting occurs.
Our October chapter meeting will be held on October 9th at 5:30pm in the library at Springfield High School.
Our constitution requires a 15 day notification prior to the Sept chapter meeting, so you’ll see this again over the summer, on our Facebook page and the OSEA State Chapter website.
