All members are eligible to submit their name as a nominee.  The incumbent for Vice President and Regional Director #2 - Jackson/Cuckoo - Public Side have decided not to run. Incumbents for all other positions will serve in their position if re-elected.  LACA is always seeking a wider base of membership involvement and looks forward to welcoming new members to the Board.   Board meetings are held on the first Thursday of the month.  The Annual meeting is on the last Saturday of July.
