The only elected committee vacancies that do not have a nomination are the two Youth Trustee positions. The Nominating Committee feels that the processes around Youth Trustees need to be clarified as there were no applicants for the position.

Please note the differences in term lengths. Although many of these positions have a maximum term longer than what they are being nominated for, due to the large number of vacancies and how the bylaws mandate different staggered schedules, many of the open positions were to fulfill partially-vacant terms and not full-length terms, so the Nominating Committee adjusted accordingly.
