CUASA is currently seeking nominations for the following positions on its Steering Committee. All positions carry a two year term and begin on July 1, 2015. Depending on the outcome of the vote on the proposed constitutional changes (click here for more information), we will either be seeking a Vice President or a President-Elect (one year with a year as President).
