Meet the Candidates - 2025

The CAS Board of Directors is proposing amendments to our governing documents designed to streamline and modernize the Society’s governance—without changing its structure or policies. Fellows will be asked to vote on the changes in conjunction with the 2025 CAS elections in August. In putting the proposals on the ballot, the Board is recommending that the Fellows vote in favor of the amendments.

Voting members are encouraged to take advantage of the information provided by the candidates and to add their voice to the future development and growth of the CAS by casting a ballot. The elections open on August 1, 2025, and the deadline for voting is August 29, 2025.
