Other upcoming deadlines this month include Chapter Officer self-nominations for Membership Chair and Secretary/Treasurer. Current officers who are eligible to serve a second term (i.e. have not exceeded four years consecutively on council) should also submit the Self-Nomination Form. Deadline to self-nominate is July 31.
Also, be sure to read our just-released, first-ever Lighting Research Report – lots of great insights on this important K&B category.
Have a wonderful holiday, and we look forward to seeing you this month on our Chapter Officer calls!
Best,
Kelly
