Good evening everyone,
I am sending this message out to inform the affiliate of the results from the Sc Association of Black Leaders division meeting from last night.
During the meeting held on Wednesday, November 9th the members of the SC Association of Black Leaders voted on and passed a constitution for the division. The constitution along with a list of the division's members will be sent to President McKenzie shortly. The constitution will then be voted on by the NFB of SC state board.
Also, during last night's meeting elections were held to fill the 5 positions on the division's board. The results of the elections are as follows
President: Derique Simon
1st Vice President: Kristopher Crawley
2nd Vice President: Gregory Jones
Secretary/Treasurer: Andrew Adams

Congratulations to the new board and thanks to all who participated.
More information about the next meeting and plans for the division will be provided after the constitution has been voted on by the NFB of SC state board and we are aware of the result.
