NMS Coaches and Team Reps,

On behalf of the Governance Committee and the Senior Athlete Representative, I’m happy to announce that we have 6 candidates who will be running for 2 vacant athlete representative positions on the Board of Directors!

Slate of Candidates*

Junior Athlete Representative:

Mattie Lupo (Beast Aquatics)

Ava Schlosser (Mako Aquatics)

At-Large Athlete Representative:

Aidan Ciro (Artesia Aquatic Club)

Conner Cooney (Las Cruces Aquatic Team)

Colette Dhenin (Cavern City Swim Club)

Nye Hanan (Las Cruces Aquatic Team)

Mattie Lupo (Beast Aquatics)

*Any athlete on both ballots that is elected to both positions will take office in the preferred position (designated in advance with the Governance Committee). The athlete with the next highest number of votes on the non-preferred ballot will be elected.

The Senior Athlete Representative will provide direction and guidance directly to these candidates regarding campaigning, which will begin on June 26 (no campaigning allowed before then). Electronic voting will take place by all 13 & over NMS-registered athletes from July 3-6, with results being announced during the State Championship meet on July 8.

Please join me in congratulating these athletes on being willing to step up to serve our LSC and make the athlete voice be heard!

Sincerely,

Jeanette Skow

NMS Governance Committee Chair
