Nominees Unopposed; No Elections This Year

Nominations for UHP officer and delegate positions were due by Thursday, February 1, at 5 p.m. Members of the Elections Committee gathered in the UHP office after the closing of the nominations that afternoon to open the box housing all nominations. Trisha Faraday read each nomination while Laura Didden recorded each name (pictured here).

All UHP officer positions went unchallenged, meaning all the members of the UHP Executive Committee who are up for re-election will serve an additional two-year term without need for an election:

  • President – Bill Garrity
  • First Vice President – Ivonne Hamm
  • Treasurer – Michelle Proper
  • Recording Secretary – Laura Didden
  • VP Membership Activities – Shawn Brown
  • VP Political Activities – Robin Addison
  • VP Communication – Chris DeFrancesco
