2025-2026 Chapter Board of Directors, Elections and Board Meeting Schedule
NEXT MEETING: The next regular board meeting will be10 a.m. Sunday, July 12, 2026, and will be conducted via Zoom. If you would like to attend this meeting, or would like other information on the meeting, contact chapter secretary Mark Scarp (contact info below).
BOARD MEETINGS: The board usually meets bi-monthly in odd-numbered months on the second Sunday of the month, with some exceptions. Board meetings are open to all, and chapter members are most certainly welcome.
MEETING MINUTES: Minutes of each meeting are posted on this website here once they have been approved by the board. The board usually votes at each meeting whether to approve the minutes of the previous meeting. So posted minutes lag behind by one meeting.
ELECTIONS: Our chapter bylaws call for chapter officers to be elected at an annual chapter meeting held each June to one-year terms from July 1 to June 30. The next election — for our 2025-2026 chapter officers — will be held by voice vote at the chapter’s annual Summer Solstice Soiree party on June 16, 2026, at Arizona Wilderness Brewing Miracle Mile, 1814 E. McDowell Road, Phoenix. At that event, four officers will be elected to another one-year term from July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2025. If you are interested in holding one of our officer positions — president, vice president, secretary or treasurer, please contact Tim Eigo, spjphx@gmail.com, by Tuesday, June 2, 2026.
BOARD MAKEUP: The president appoints other members of the board with the consent of fellow officers, and may name appointees to fill vacancies created by officers who leave the board before their terms are up, in each case with the consent of other board members.
