The annual election of EDC officers took place during the April 22, 2025, meeting. EDC
members elected Lowell Collman as Chair, Rick Bjorklund as Vice Chair, and Andrew Phillips
as Secretary. Andrew Phillips resigned from the EDC on April 25, 2025; therefore, EDC
members must elect a new Secretary to fill the remaining term.
For the election of officers:
•The existing chair (or vice chair if chair is no longer on the board) should ask for
nominations from the board members.
o If no officers from the previous board are present, the most tenured member of
the board will handle the nomination process.
o Nominations can be taken individually by position (chair, vice-chair, etc.) or as
a slate of officers.
o This call for nominations should occur three times.
o The presiding officer shall announce that self-nominations are allowed.
•Once three calls for nominations are completed, the chair shall state that nominations
are closed.
•A vote on the positions, either individually or as a slate, shall occur.
o The person with the most votes is elected.
•The newly elected chair takes over presiding duties.
Action Requested: Commissioners are asked to elect a new Secretary to fulfill the April 2025-
2026 term.
