The UWSA Board of Directors called an election on March 28 to fill four director vacancies. Only three nominations were submitted by the deadline on April 10, so an election is not required; Mifrah Abid, Lewis Fraser, and Sarah Landy will be acclaimed as directors, effective immediately, for remainder of the vacant terms.
