Nominating Committee Report
We nominate Tina Huesing, PhD, and Dr. Rica Lamar for three-year terms on the ICUUW Board of Directors. We feel that both candidates will be valuable contributing members of the board.
We regret that we have not been able to find a board member ready to serve as Treasurer, and recommend that the position be left unfilled for the time being until a suitable candidate comes forward. In the meantime, Geri Kennedy will continue, possibly with the help of one or more volunteers, to do the work of the Treasurer.

Our esteemed executive director, Zsófia Sztranyiczki, has notified the Board of Directors that she will be stepping down from her position at the end of 2024. She has done a fabulous job serving as our Executive Director for the past 11 years and will be very difficult to replace. She promises to remain involved with ICUUWomen as a volunteer. We wish her well in the future with more time to focus on her personal life and projects, including her tour company.
