Committee (NomCom) that is responsible for identifying, recruiting, and 
certifying a properly selected slate of candidates to be placed in 
nomination before the membership for election. This year's NomCom 
members are Board of Trustee members Aaron Hughes (NomCom Chair) and 
Paul Andersen and general member volunteers John Brown, Byron Holland, 
Stephen Middleton, Tina Morris, and John Springer.
