Dear Members,

We wish to inform you that Mr. Frank Trujillo, our current Chapter President, has relocated outside the area and has submitted his resignation. Mr. Ryan Papariello has opted to remain in his current role as Vice President, preserving the existing leadership succession plan for next year.

As a result, a special election will be held to fill the Chapter President position for the 2025–2026 term. We are now accepting nominations.

If you are interested in being considered for Chapter President, please email Bruce Donato, the board-appointed Special Election Chair, at bdonato@kafirstaid.com. In your message, please include a statement of interest and a brief professional bio.

Marcus Odorizzi and Tom Trauger will continue to serve as members of the election committee.

The deadline for nominations is Friday, August 1, 2025. A special election will be held in August.

To those attending the PDC next week: safe travels to Orlando!

Sincerely,
The NCC-ASSP Advisory Board
