NPMHU DELEGATES MAKE HISTORY DURING FIRST EVER ON-LINE NOMINATIONS MEETING
MAIL BALLOT ELECTIONS SET FOR 2 REGIONAL VICE PRESIDENTS IN FALL
On Tuesday, July 21, 2020, the Delegates elected by the NPMHU membership to attend the 2020 National Convention (now scheduled for March 2021 because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic) made NPMHU history when they met virtually — through desktop and laptop computers, tablets, cell phones, and perhaps even land-line telephones — to nominate candidates for all seven National Officers open for election in 2020.
National President Paul V. Hogrogian and National Secretary-Treasurer Michael J. Hora were the only nominees for their respective National Offices, and therefore have been re-elected by acclamation for the next four-year term, running from October 2020 to October 2024. Central Regional Vice President June Harris (Local 306), Northeastern Regional Vice President David Wilkin (Local 309), and Southern Regional Vice President Lawrence Sapp (Local 318) also were nominated without challenge, and also have been re-elected.
There were two nominees for Eastern Regional Vice President, incumbent Vice President John Gibson (Local 308) and Felandria Jackson (Local 305). There also were two nominees for Western Regional Vice President, incumbent Don Sneesby (Local 316) and Juan Torres (Local 303). These two mail ballot elections will be held in September and October of this year amongst the entire membership of these two Regions.
