Welcome back to another exciting year of AIAA Houston events!
On the horizon for the month of October:
Thank you to everyone who voted in the 2015 AIAA Houston Section Election. This year we had 48 total votes including many for write-in candidates for the Chair-Elect and Councilor positions. The Councilor positions were filled out by the top 5 people receiving votes and those nominated via write-in for the Chair-Elect position were approached by the current Chair about taking on the responsibility.
The official results are below. Please welcome and congratulate those stepping up to lead the Houston Section for the 2015-2016 year!
Sincerely,
The AIAA Houston Section Election Committee
Michael Frostad – Chair
