[CT-NFB] Treasurer Board Position

Sun Oct 25 20:00:19 UTC 2020

Thank you Debbie for your response. I have no doubt the elections will
follow democratic process and do understand the nominees could be made from
the floor. My concern is the presidential nominees for the board positions
that are opened. How diverse are they? And why only a handful of people Who
the nominees are? Why are we not privileged to have this information when
it became available?
