When does the State Board hold its annual elections of officers?

The State Board holds its annual elections of officers in July. This timing allows the Board to conduct elections during mid-year, which helps facilitate continuity in leadership and operations. Scheduling the election in July also enables the newly elected officers to acclimate to their roles in the latter half of the year, ensuring that the Board's functions and strategic planning are effectively aligned with the upcoming year’s agenda.

Holding elections at this time is advantageous for the Board as it can respond to changes in leadership without disrupting its activities or functions, which may be more challenging if elections were held at the end of the year when many committees are also wrapping up their work.
