In August, the NAPABA Nominating & Elections Committee had delayed the issuance of ballots in order to review certain election-related complaints. Those complaints were investigated and resolved. Specific details about the complaints and the Committee’s findings are confidential and will not be disclosed. If you have any questions, you may contact the NAPABA Nominating & Elections Committee Chair George Chen or NAPABA Executive Director Tina Matsuoka. For general inquiries, please contact [email protected].
