The election of the board’s leadership was a focal point of the meeting. Steve Brandt was nominated and elected as President without opposition, while Samantha Pree-Stinson was similarly elected as Vice President. The elections were conducted with a voice vote.

Additionally, attention was given to the ongoing hiring process for a new staff member. The board is awaiting updates from the Human Resources department regarding the timeline for advertising and interviewing candidates. This staffing decision is crucial, as the new hire will be tasked with executing various research projects and supporting the board’s functions.

Moreover, a potential bylaw amendment was discussed, though no formal proposal was submitted. The board acknowledged that any bylaw changes would require proper notice and a two-thirds majority vote.
