As indicated by Jane Mutchler in the last issue of The Auditor’s Report, after the Annual Meeting this year we will begin a new election procedure. Starting in 1998 we will have our Business Meeting and election of officers at the Midyear Meeting. Officers will, however, continue to officially assume their responsibilities in August at the luncheon held in connection with the Annual Meeting. Contact me if you have any questions on this new procedure.
