Officers and Board Members for 2020

On behalf of the Board Governance Committee, we submit the following report for consideration and eventual approval by the membership.

First, we want to thank departing Board Members, Robert Chu, Crystal Espanol, Franz Espanol, Amanda Thai, and Benjamin Tilghman, for their amazing service, and are grateful to each for their tremendous contributions to the organization as members of the Board. 

Secondly, we are pleased to  nominate the following as the recommended slate of Officers and Board Members for 2020.  While not the first time that we have had a former Board member rejoin the Board after a period of absence, we are especially pleased to welcome back Erica Smith-Klocek, a past President.

Finally, we also wish to thank our current officers and Board members for their contributions and service.  Our organization depends upon all of us!  A special shout out to BGC members without whose help, the BGC could not have completed its work in recommending this slate.

Suzanne J. Young, Chair, Board Governance Committee
Bryan Y.M. Tham, Vice Chair, Board Governance Committee
