Subject:            Board of Governors Election – Next Steps

Dear CLPSS Members,

We are pleased to inform you that the nomination and confirmation process for the Board of Governors (BOG) has been completed in accordance with the original CLPSS bylaws. All nominated individuals have either accepted or declined their nominations, and we are now preparing to move forward with the election phase.

The next step is the creation and distribution of ballots by region, allowing members to elect their BOG representatives where the number of candidates exceeds available seats.

Please take note of the finalized election timeline below:

Election Timeline

• August 1: Ballots will be prepared and distributed to members
• August 3 (Midnight): Voting period ends and votes will be tabulated
• August 5: Announcement of elected Board of Governors by region
• September 6: In-person meeting of newly elected BOG members

We are currently considering Houston, Texas or Chicago, Illinois as the location for the in-person mandatory meeting on September 6. Please note, this will be a closed meeting — attendance is limited strictly to elected BOG members and the Board of Trustees. No guests will be permitted.

This initial session will be led and facilitated by the Board of Trustees, until the new Executive Committee is formally established.

We thank all members for their continued support, engagement, and commitment to the democratic process of CLPSS USA.

Sincerely,
CLPSS USA – Board of Trustees

Bhavesh Patel.           Atul Patel.           Bharat Mehta.           Meena Patel.           Kishor Patel.
