As you may recall, we recently elected a Vice President for the upcoming term 7/1/2021 - 6/30/2023. However, despite her willingness to serve the community, Nikki Cherry is unexpectedly unable to serve. GVR is disappointed that we will not get the opportunity to have her as our VP, but we wish Nikki much success in her future endeavors.

We must now announce a special election for the position of Vice President. We are currently seeking candidates and will have the election in mid-June (June 13 - June 19, 2021.) Whoever is elected will then serve as Vice President from July 1st, 2021 - June 30th, 2023.

Please send your nominations to elections@gvrrid.org by June 1st. We accept nominations of your peers, which can be done anonymously, but we also accept self-nominations!

Sincerely,

- Your GVRRID Elections Committee

Hello Rochester Interpreting Community!

My name is Alyssa Vaisey and there are three reasons I am reaching out to you today. First is to inform you about some changes that have occurred on the GVRRID board. Secondly, I want to let you know about the upcoming GVRRID elections. And finally, I would like to ask for your help.
