I hope everyone had a relaxing summer and are ready for an action packed fall.<\/p>\n

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce and welcome our newest Excom member Mr. David C\u00a0Pinkowitz who is the President of DCP Marketing Services LLC. \u00a0He has joined us and already contributed\u00a0to our new website development. \u00a0He is work collaboratively with Davor and Metodi. We are very\u00a0fortunate to have him on board.<\/p>\n

I also thank the sections nominating committee chair Nick Golas and member Nazrul Islam for their\u00a0excellent work along with me to secure a full nomination slate for 2018 officers. The section-nominated\u00a0slate for 2018 Annual Section Officer Election is:<\/p>\n

— Section Chair: Louis D’Onofrio
\n— 1st Vice Chair: James Colotti
\n— 2nd Vice Chair: Howard Edelman
\n— Treasurer: Santo Mazzola
\n— Secretary: Lorenzo LoMonte<\/p>\n

The Ballot will open on October 1st, and run through October 31st, 2017. A link to the Ballot will be\u00a0emailed closer to the election. \u00a0The Section Bylaws also allow for a nomination by member petition. If\u00a0you wish to run for any position, please follow the process outlined in the Section’s Bylaws.<\/p>\n

Last but not least I want to thank Lou and Sandy for representing our section in the section Congress. \u00a0I am sure they will share some of the good ideas that they were exposed to.<\/p>\n
