Deadline Extension - June 30: Due to adjustments in this year’s election timeline, and in recognition of applicants who submitted within the original deadline but were not able to be considered under the revised schedule, several Board members and some members of the Election Committee recommended extending the deadline to June 30, 2026. This extension supports fairness, due diligence, and a transparent election process.
